 ​​Discussing methods of teaching dance technique 

DESCRIPTION OF SIGNAL

The historic, widely accepted method of teaching a dance technique class is through direct, teacher-centered instruction. 

There is a study realesed 13 juli 2021 in Journal of danceeducation that compares two methods of teaching a dance technique class to determine which produces a greater increase in technical skills.  (in high school students). Current research (for most undergraduate college students) suggests that student-centered instruction may be more effective.

REFLECTION

I think it's also needed to be said that we are talking about teaching dance technique in a context of dances with European and western heritage. There already exist other traditions of teaching and learning “the hows of dancing” than the classroom, through direct, teacher-centered instruction. 

FUTURE

The results of this particular presented study found that future research on this topic should include teaching students how to give and receive feedback before entering a student-centered curriculum structure.
