The Concept of Dance Education

In 'The Concept of Dance Education', Graham McFee offers an original contribution to current debates concerning the nature, scope and purpose of dance for young people. He also provides a rigorous introduction to issues of aesthetic education for those interested in dance. Defending the view that dance is primarily an artistic activity, McFee examines the unique contribution dance can make to the emotional and aesthetic development of young people. Addressing issues of pressing concern, this book will be essential reading for all student dance teachers and those interested in dance and its place in the curriculum.
