CORRECTION: INSULT OR COMPLIMENT?

Dance is a bit of an enigma:  it is taught in a class setting and, yet, it is an individual sport.  Each person learns differently and every movement needs to be adapted to accommodate each individual body.

            Dancers learn the combinations, run through them in their heads and execute them as a class.  The instructor will quite often give group corrections, but because of the individuality of dance, it is also necessary to give individual corrections.  Today’s dance students often express feelings of defeat and discouragement when an instructor corrects them, yet they should be feeling quite the opposite way.

CARING FOR INJURIES

  There have been many cases of hazards that occur during rehearsals or even in performances. Dancers have had injuries that would start of small, but because of bad treatment and management, it will turn out to be a very huge problem. In this article I would be addressing some way to care for common injuries faced by dancers.

DANCE IN PUBLIC EDUCATION

Each day students enter schools, sit at desks and get ready to learn.  They read, they write, they use computers, and they take standardized tests that are used to determine the effectiveness of the educational system.  They are told things like, “You can’t think while you’re moving,” or “You’ve got to be still to learn things.”  In walks the dance educator, the radical thinker, who actually believes that movement aids learning and encourages higher order thinking.

IMPORTANCE OF WARM-UPS BEFORE DANCE REHEARSALS

In my short experience of taking dance classes, I've noticed the frown on the faces of dancers when I demand warm up before rehearsals commences. It bothers me to know that many dancers don't know the importance of warming up before full rehearsals. Warm up is essential for all dance occasions actually. Be it class, rehearsal or performance. It helps prepare for the dance both mentally and physically and also helps a great deal to prevent injury. And this applies to all styles of dance.
