Description
1 videocassette (60 min.) : sd., col. NTSC; 1/2 in. (VHS)
Summary
Discussion of dance performed by or for children, as seen through the eyes of Susan Friedman, a dance teacher with 15 years of experience in Cape Cod, and Jeanne Traxler, whose organization Moving Experience includes the Peanut Butter & Jelly Dance Company, adult dancers who perform in the schools, and Small Feet, a group of child performers. In describing their approaches to teaching dance to children, both emphasize the primacy of creative movement rather than formal training, and the need for age-appropriate instruction. They also discuss parents' changing expectations and concerns ; the benefits of dance for children with special needs ; and the benefits of dance recitals. Two of Friedman's students, Katie Dombromski and Sarah Reid, discuss their own experiences in dance classes. Video excerpts depict performances by the Peanut Butter & Jelly Dance Company and Small Feet (including pieces danced by parents with their children) ; performances by Katie and Sarah, with classmates, in ballet numbers presented at a recital ; and a montage of one of Friedman's recitals, showing students of different ages and levels in different dance forms.
