The term dance has a broad meaning. Basically, it can be explained as having desire for movement, enjoying life (Koban Dobnik, 2005). We can also say that dancing is freedom. While dancing, we are relaxing or we can also apply all our energy to it. People often forget about their worries while dancing. We could say dance is a sign of life.
Children sometimes find it difficult to express verbally, but, they can show their inner selfs through dance without describing it with words.
Encouragement is the key to a child's dance development, so we need to enable a wide variety of incetives (from material incentives to incentives such as the senses – hearing, smell, taste, touch, sight ...). While becoming aware of the movement of the material, a child discovers its own movement. Thus, a relationship between the material and the child is established.
Dance can be incorporated into various areas (math, language, nature, movement, etc.). It is also common in combination with other arts (architecture, music, film and television, etc..).
In the theoretical part (first part), I presented some of the basics of dance, what can be used for a boost to dance, how can dance be linked to other disciplines and how dance connects with other arts.
Second part (the empirical part) is devoted to various activities for children which served as an instrument for the promotion of dance and learning about different gardens, parks and arboretums. |
