Education
Research in Dance Education aims to inform, stimulate and promote the development of research in dance education and is relevant to both learners and teachers. The desire to improve the quality and provision of dance education through lively and critical debate, and the dissemination of research findings is uppermost.
Dance education is not immune to gender problems that exist in society; the scarcity of male students, dancers’ body and self-esteem issues, and student choreographies that echo media stereotypes should convince us of this.
Knowledge is a powerful tool; however anatomical knowledge is just the beginning. The dance education programs designed by Perfect Form Physiotherapy in Sydney, Australia, also teach dancers how to explore their own bodies on multiple levels.
