Teaching What You Want to Learn distills the five decades that Bill
Evans has spent immersed in teaching dance into an indispensable guide
for today's dance instructor.
From devising specific pedagogical strategies and translating theory
into action, to working with diverse bodies and embracing evolving value
systems, Evans has considered every element of the teacher's role and
provided 94 essential essays about becoming a more effective and
satisfied educator. As well as setting out his own particular training
methods and somatic practice as one of the world's leading dance
teachers, he explores the huge range of challenges and rewards that a
teacher will encounter across their career. These explorations equip the
reader not only to enable and empower their students but also to get the
most out of their own work so they are learning as they teach.
This is an essential book for anyone who wants to teach dance and
movement, from professional and academic settings to amateur artists and
trainee instructors.
