Dance as a Way of Knowing
Snowber, Celeste
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n134 p53-60 Sum 2012
This article explores dance as a way of knowing, inquiry, embodied understanding and, ultimately, what it can mean to think on one's feet and get one's feet in his/her thinking. It extends dance to include not only the more formal way one thinks of dance but creative movement, improvisation, and ways of moving that are marked by expressivity. This is particularly important in postsecondary educational settings, where there are a wide variety of backgrounds brought by students through diverse experiences. In this article, the author calls to attention the significance of how dance can be a place of inquiry and its generative possibilities for deeper understanding.
