Cultivating Critical Thinking in Dancers

$20.00$49.00

 

Workshop Description

 

In a world where dancers are often told to listen and blindly comply, we need to train students to think for themselves.

 

This presentation by Cailtin Sloan (The Brainy Ballerina) will give dance educators actionable advice to transition from a passive to an active learning model in their classroom.

 

This workshop will cover:

    • how to use open-ended questions to help dancers take responsibility for their training
    • where to build in opportunities for dancers to provide constructive and detailed feedback
    • the use of guided improvisation to develop smart decision making skills
    • areas where educators tend to operate on autopilot
    • how we can change up our teaching to engage dancers’ brains

 

By giving dancers opportunities to be partners in their education, we cultivate not just smart dancers, but strong capable adults who are prepared for whatever career path they choose.
