Integrated Arts in Education Week 10.

In the words of Jacqueline Smith-Autard, “children should be able to compose, perform and appreciate dance” (Smith-Autard, 2002). Following this, we were given a lecture in creative dance. The lecture was aimed for us to value the importance of creative dance in education. Zara presented us with a video which informed us of a dance project she carried out in a local school. The project encouraged boys and girls of all ages to engage in dance. Prior to beginning the project the boys have low levels of morale however, by the end of the video they were very enthusiastic and the project proved to have positive effects upon the children. There are several advantages of dance education to students including:
- Self-motivated, disciplined and focused in their everyday lives.
- Expressive in their communication of emotions, thoughts and feelings.
- Creative and imaginative.
- Able to critically analyse their own work and the work of others.
(National Dance Education Organisation, n.d)
Furthermore the Curriculum for Excellence stresses the need for dance education for pupils by stating “children should have the opportunity to create, present, appreciate and evaluate dance” (CfE, 2018).
We began our dance seminar by reminding ourselves of the previous dance we had created. We were then asked in groups to create one picture of the first thing we think of when someone says Christmas. Our group decided to draw a Christmas tree, we were then asked to swap our pictures with another group. After swapping, we had to look at the other groups picture and think of a dance move in relation to the object. Zara then collected in all pictures and put them on the wall for the full cohort to see. We combined all of these moves to create a Christmas dance routine. Next week in our final input, we are going to finalise the dance and record it. I believe that this is an easy way for a teacher to create a dance lesson, as they personally do not have to do any dancing for themselves. The lesson is carried out completely by the student. The main outcome that this lesson relates to is as follows;
