MOVEMENT AND DANCE IN YOUNG CHILDRENS LIVES - A...

In the pedagogical landscape of early childhood  physical movement is central to the holistic
development of young children. Yet  movement-related experiences and other bodily activities
such as play and dance often present contradictions and conundrums for early childhood
educators. As a mode of learning  movement has endured a questionable existence despite the
evidence of supportive research and theory  which provides sound reasons for the inclusion of
movement in early years curricula. Movement and Dance in Young Children's Lives looks at the
place of movement in young children's lives and addresses how movement as a form of expression
can become dance  thus displacing a reliance on linguistic modes of expression and honoring the
agency of the body. It also discusses a variety of concerns and confusions that accompany dance
in education  and interprets what this means to students and teachers in teacher education
programs and early childhood settings.
