Teaching Philosophy

Today we worked more on our teaching philosophy, specifically for modern-based dance classes. Yesterday I wrote something that I was ok with, but it was alittle dry. Today (and yesterday, I think) J. told us that we could be as creative with this as we wanted. So, this is what I wrote today and just sent into her.

Stillness.

Start small.

Gradually expand.

Move into space with clarity.

Acute articulation embedded with presence.

Challenge norms, expand possibilities, athleticism.

Say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

360º dancing, release, engage, sequential, simultaneous, daring.

I'm also funny.
