In the past, dance education has focused on the learning of dance, limited to Western-based societies, with little attention to how dance is learned and applied globally. This book seeks to re-frame the way dance education is defined, approached and taught by looking beyond the privileged Western dance forms to compare education from different cultures. Structured into three parts, this book examines the following essential questions: - What is dance? What defines dance as an art form? - How and where is dance performed and for what purpose? - How do social contexts shape the making and interpretation of dance? The first part covers the history of dance education and its definition. The second part discusses current contexts and applications, including global contexts and the ability to apply and comprehend dance education in a variety of contexts. This book opens up definitions, rather than categorising, so that dance is not presented in a hierarchical form. The third part continues to define dance education in ways that have not been discussed in the past: informal contexts. The book then returns to the original definition of dance education as a way of knowing oneself and the world around us, ending on the philosophical application of this self-knowledge as a way to be in the world and to engage with others, regardless of background. This textbook is a refreshing and much-needed contribution to the field of dance studies by one of the most eminent voices in the field"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aDance$xStudy and teaching 606 $aDance$xSocial aspects 606 $aDance and globalization 606 $aDrama & Performance Studies 606 $aDance 606 $aCritical Pedagogy 615 0$aDance$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aDance$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDance and globalization. 615 4$aDrama & Performance Studies 615 4$aDance 615 4$aCritical Pedagogy 676 $a792.8076 700 $aKoff$b Susan R.$01807005 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958673203321 996 $aDance education$94356462 997 $aUNINA
