Teaching Dance Improvisation
DVDs and Workbooks

“Teaching Beginning Dance Improvisation”and “Teaching Advanced Dance Improvisation” are comprised of six DVDs and two workbooks, and were created as resource guides for beginning and advanced teachers of improvisational dance. These instructional packages provide suggestions for methodology, teaching hints, coaching phrases, “things to look for”, and alternate improvisational problems. The packages provide ideas, aid in curriculum development and give relevant visual and written instruction which encourages successful teaching skills.

Shirley and Joan, both teachers of dance for more than 40 years, incorporated their knowledge with award-winning video director Arthur Pembleton and video editor Pat Van Duser to create the first teaching tool of its kind. The company, whose residency programs have long served as a national model, was awarded a grant for this project by the National Endowment for the Arts Artists In Education program in recognition of its excellence in the field of education.

The cost for both Teaching Beginning and Advanced Dance Improvisation is $300. If you buy them separately they are $175 each. If you buy one then later the other, it will be $125. Shipping is $15 by Fed-Ex national, and $20 international. Please email with any other questions or to place an order.
