"Empathetic Embodiment," integrates movement improvisation, dance composition, and traditional qualitative data analysis to gain an understanding of participants' experiences through the body.

Sample Dance Curriculum

This curriculum sample is built on an earnest desire to share the liberating and transformative experience of dance education with students. It has been designed using Backward Design heuristics and founded upon the NCAAS National Core Arts Standards 9-12th grade dance standards. These standards have been revised and augmented to anchor the curriculum with more actionable aims. This curriculum represents an attempt to balance the temporal nature of dance, its tradition of oral dissemination and authoritative pedagogy, with a liberatory educational philosophy. The arts are uniquely situated at the nexus of creativity and intellect—dance particularly employs the body in the freeing of the mind.
