Transitions: The Difference Between Teaching Dance in the Secondary School Setting and Higher Education

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The transition from teaching dance in higher education to the secondary school setting can be turbulent. Dance curriculum for secondary students must meet their developmental and psychological needs, while also fitting into an abbreviated class period. Individuals making this transition must be aware of the different goals that a middle or high school setting requires, such as informing parents about classroom activites and working as a dance “generalist” rather than a specialist.
