The 3-day in-person course will integrate best practices in dance education with dance/movement therapy theory and concepts of development to teach participants how to create dance activities that engage the strengths and meet the needs of children and adolescents who have emotional, behavioral, learning, sensory, and/or physical challenges.
Participants will learn group and individual strategies to promote positive behavior and will be guided in applying these strategies in their own dance education or dance/movement therapy settings. Class sessions will include lecture, discussion, movement experiences, small group work, and audio-visual media. Participants will have assigned readings and those who take the course for college or alternate route dance/movement therapy training will have additional required assignments.
Mon, 9 am-4 pm, Tue & Wed, 8 am-3 pm
