Credits: 4
The ‘DANCE IN EDUCATION: I HAVE A DREAM INTERNSHIP’ will allow Lang students to participate in running an After School Dance Program at the Chelsea-Elliot ‘I Have a Dream’ Program. In this course students will explore the connection between engaged dance and middle school literacy, mathematics and social studies. Along with field work at the Hudson Guild Fulton Community House, Lang students will participate in a Tuesday seminar where collectively they will engage in an in depth exploration of the field of Dance in Elementary and Secondary Education. The Tuesday seminar will serve as a tool for reflection about the activities and interactions which take place at the Chelsea-Elliot ‘I Have a Dream’ Program, and allow for planning and shared curriculum development of the After School Dance Program. At the end of the semester, Lang students will help facilitate a performance and/or individual project by the Dreamers for their families and the Chelsea-Elliot ‘I Have a Dream’ community. Lang students will also create a syllabus for use in their own future teaching endeavors, based on an area of interest identified over the course of the semester.
