How to teach dance (or any physical skill!)

This class is a mixture of lecture and discussion on the theory of how to teach dance and other physical skills. We will focus on: 1) Four stages of teaching a physical skill: describe, demonstrate, practice, and feedback; 2) Sequencing: Beginning with simple skills, and building to more complex. 3) Spiraling: ways to assess starting point, then add new skills, go back to review and reinforce the skills, add more skills, go back again to re-integrate. (Note: if you have taken this class at a past KWDS, this class will have some overlap, but also have fresh content. We will be focusing on a slightly different set of skills than past classes. Because it is partially discussion-based, the class always adapts to the needs/interests of the participants.)
