Summary:
This last chapters of the book features a series of learning
activities that help students dig deeper into the history of dance,
dancers, and significant dance works and literature. These activities
are presented as reproducible templates that include perceiving,
creating, performing, writing, and presenting oral activities infused
with technology. Teachers also can use this book, and use the activities inside as optional assignments or as projects to help apply the information and to
use technology and other integrated arts sources to make the history of
dance more meaningful. The History of Dance is an
indispensable text for dance students who want to learn the history of
dance and its relationship to other arts of the times using today's
interactive technology.
Quote:
"Dance takes further research. You must find dance and the music that accompanied it, and learn and practice the dance so that you can perform it" (Kassing, 315)
Reaction:
You have to practice a dance routine before performing it; Its common sense. If you don't know a routine, why would you perform it? well, unless you want to embarrass yourself of course. You have to find a song that fits your choreography. if its a slow dance, find a slow song. If its a fast dance, find an up beat dance. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book :). Dance is my passion. So, learning more about the history of it was very interesting to me.
