This six-week asynchronous course is designed for dance educators who are interested in investigating DEL’s Tracing Footsteps – Journey into Jazz Dance: Let’s Swing! curriculum, which was created in partnership with the NYC Department of Education Dance Division of the Arts Office.
This curriculum explores common themes related to the early roots of jazz dance and Lindy Hop explored across four grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. In this course, participants will gain access to the entire K-12 curriculum, including unit descriptions, lesson plans, Google Slide presentations, and original tutorial videos. Through direct engagement with the curriculum resources, jazz, swing and Lindy Hop will come to life through reflection, research, creating, performing and curriculum writing in order to gain new insight and strategies for bringing this exciting genre of dance into your own teaching practice.
