Philosophy of Dance Education
Teachers can be some of the greatest and most memorable role models for children.
Teachers have the capacity to have a great impact on a student.
Teachers have the opportunity to help shape the future and change the world.
Following the pedagogy of well-known social psychologist, Lev Vygotsky, our studio is socially endorsed, while students work collaborative with each other, as well as with their respected teacher. Within a healthy and supportive environment, we aim to teach the whole person; through cognitive knowledge, affective understanding, and kinaesthetic learning.
Students in each class form part of a bigger studio community, who rely on one another for support and encouragement, while maintaining personal responsibility for their role in learning.
