Movement and Dance Education (New ed)

Teaching children how to use their bodies is a central concern of any good system of education today, and not just in the particular context of physical education, but across a whole range of other activities within the school.

Illustrated throughout with photographs, this book provides the in-service or student teacher with practical guidance to this whole larger field of "Movement Education" and its considerable potential for child development and assessment.

It includes a set of compositions (story outlines, rituals, mimes, dramas) which the teacher can use as a basis for work with young children.
