I really enjoyed the dance unit. I began taking dance lessons when I was three years old and I have loved dancing ever since. However, I had never learned how to incorporate dance into the classroom, so this dance unit was a different experience for me. It was definitely a lot different than the dance that I am used to, but I still enjoyed it.
While in field, Angie and I were able to incorporate movement. We weren't able to do dance, necessarliy, but they did how songs that they would sing that had actions and movements in them. You could tell that getting their bodies moving was so pleasurable for the kids and that it got them ready to focus on the next task at hand.
I will definitely use the techniques we learned in this class and implement them into my future field experiences and put them into use in my own future classroom. I think dance is a wonderful thing and so many emotions can be portrayed through dance. Even if my students don't understand that concept fully, they will still have a fun time moving around in the classroom.
