Das Grundschultanzbuch

Instructing and teaching dances made easy – with 16 dances to traditional and modern music: dances to pop titles, folklore dances, meditative dances, singing dances and dances with gossip elements. A teaching and learning book for educators who want to convey the fun of movement and dance to children: not only in elementary school, but also in kindergarten, preschool and special needs school, dance school or club. Above all, inexperienced dance group leaders benefit from the author’s innovative concept, with which not only the children learn new dances, but also dance leaders experience new ways of teaching dance with each chapter. Variable methods of dance mediation enable different approaches. Tailored to the respective group, the dances are conveyed via: pictorial dance stories, further themes, imaginative testing, imaginative role play, various forms of simplification (slowing down movements, doubling them, reducing them to the essentials, dividing them into bites). The book is structured thematically according to: traditional dances, modern dances, quiet dances and level of difficulty.
