Dance! (CD+Book)

This new music is stimulating, yet accessible. It was composed and compiled especially to meet the needs of teachers implementing the new Arts Curriculum.
The comprehensive Dance Teachers Guide, edited by dance-education specialist Jan Bolwell, is clear, easy to use, and packed full of exciting ideas, achievement objectives and learning outcomes. Choose a track and away you go...
In order to 'get it right', the publisher did extensive surveying and trialing of the music, involving over a dozen dance educators from around New Zealand. As well as giving valuable feedback about the music, they contributed a wealth of ideas to help classroom teachers who may not have dance-teaching experience.
Dance! has an imaginative, multicultural feel. The composers, including David Antony Clark, Graham Wardrop, Radha Sahar and Faipoto Aporo, have also contributed descriptions of their visions in writing the music. These and a summery of the musical structure of each piece, are featured in the Teacher's Guide. Many musical genres feature: from world to jazz, orchestral to Irish, atmospheric contemporary Maori, to zheng solos, ensuring this resource will be valued highly by dance teachers everywhere.
"A very useful resource for choreography, drama, movement, and an excellent starting point for class themes & activities. Also fantastic for creative/expressive work. The length of the tracks is good." Suzanne Denton, Community Dance Teacher.
"It is usual to buy a CD with only a few tracks having specific appeal and we congratulate you on producing a CD to suit a wide variety of preferences… a rich number of possibilities" Liong & Faye, Dance Instructors.
"A great resource." Ruth Hooke, Dance Advisor.
