Excelent book! A must for teachers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Moving Experience: Dance for Lovers of Children and the Child Within (Paperback)
I had the oportunity to teach a class of corporal movement and creative dance for children. The school gave me a curriculum guide that took me 2 weeks to complete. What was I going to do for the rest of the school year? Then I stumbled upon this book and it was heaven! The ideas are magnificent; the ilustrations are clear, from then on we had a blast! Thank you!
