By becoming aware of their own kinaesthetic sensations, students can more accurately direct and control their movements as well as copy movements demonstrated to them. As a result, students increase their dance techniques. Knowledge of one's own kinaesthetic sensations promotes empathy with others when observing their movements. When watching dances, kinaesthetically aware students are actively participating in the experience. Offer opportunities for students to engage in positive, meaningful dance experiences.
Dance offers many opportunities for students to become actively engaged in learning.
Use a process to guide the students in their choreography. The process of creating is often misunderstood. Teachers are afraid to guide the students too much in case they stifle creativity. However, the creative process is, at least in part, a problem-solving process. Teachers should guide students through steps of creative problem solving, encouraging and coaching them as they work, and engaging them in discussions about their work.
