For a Dance Education Course: A Reading List
This topic is one of my great passions — so much so that I am creating three different reading lists here, based on what course or courses you might offer at your college or university. The lists can be used for: dance for children, teaching dance to middle school and high school students, and a general course on dance education. (Please note that a few blog posts appear in more than one list.)
