This book addresses the mind-body dichotomy in movement and dance.
This book includes a description of the often-forgotten kinesthetic
sense, body awareness, somatic practices, body-based way of thinking,
mental imagery, nonverbal communication, human empathy, and symbol
systems, what occurs in the brain during learning, and why and how
movement and dance should be part of school curricula. This exploration
arguers that becoming more aware of bodily sensations serves as a basis
for knowing, communicating, learning, and teaching through movement and
dance.
This book will be of great interest to scholars and students interested
in teaching methodology and for courses in physical education, dance,
and education.
