I created this website as part of my final project for my BA Professional Practice Dance degree. It is designed to be an accessible version of the research results from an inquiry into different teaching approaches of dance and the benefits produced for adult students with learning difficulties.
It is hoped that the information may be of benefit to other dance teachers and practitioners who already teach, or would like to teach this client group. Please feel free to share the site, booklet and information.
Below is a list of references, that were used as part of the inquiry process, and would be useful for anyone requiring further information and resources.
