DEL Essentials: An Introduction to Dance Education Laboratory ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

The DEL Essentials is a studio-based introductory course held at the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center that provides an overview of the key components of the nationally acclaimed DEL (Dance Education Laboratory) Model of teaching dance to children and teenagers. Participants will examine Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) as a framework for dynamic and scaffolded lesson planning, explore the DEL method of collaborative dance making, gain effective teaching strategies, and learn how to make connections between dance and other disciplines. Students interested in our partnership program with the 92nd Street Y Dance Education Laboratory must contact Lucy Winner ([email protected]) for permission to enroll in this study. Students will also be expected to register at DEL (Dance Education Laboratory).
