Major, U403
The
Dance Education major (BS) is planned to develop an understanding
of dance as an art form and as creative arts education. In addition
to core courses in dance technique, choreography, performance, history,
and scientific foundations, dance education students also study the
teaching/learning process in dance. Extensive observation, participation,
and laboratory experiences with a variety of age groups are included.
The Dance Education major is designed to lead to North Carolina licensure
for teaching in public schools.
All majors must earn a C-1 or better in all dance courses that are
required for their major; higher grades are required in specified
courses.
Specific course requirements for the B.S. degree with a major in Dance
Education are detailed in the following sections.
Student Learning Goals
Student learning goals for Dance Education majors are extensive
and reflect state requirements for teaching licensure in dance. They
include demonstration of the following abilities:
• plan lessons that reveal an accurate understanding of the
content of dance movement as a creative art form and that demonstrate
the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of dance
• make dance learning meaningful and appropriate for all students,
encouraging active inquiry, student decision making, critical thinking,
problem solving, performance skills, collaboration, and supportive
interaction
• use skillful demonstrations when appropriate and provide demonstrations
that communicate dance quality as well as correct technique
• develop mutual respect and rapport between and among students
and teacher
• demonstrate self-reflective behavior in relation to teaching
