Creative Dance for All Ages

Had to come back and edit this because I was about to return the book flat-out. The information in the text is great. A bit daunting but that’s because it’s thorough which is good.I had MUCH difficulty getting the online resources. Once you create an account, you are taken to the general home page, I tried to enter my key code from there just using the “enter key code” option. It kept saying the code was used. Finally I went back to the exact site for the book (now signed in because I had created an account) and the “enter passcode” was on the right hand side as the directions in the books describe. It worked when I entered from there.So make sure if you are taken to another page of Human Kinetics after creating an account, GO BACK to the CreativeDanceforAllAges page and enter the pass code from there.Looking forward to checking out the content and will further update my review from there. Whew, patience y’all.

I had to buy this book for school, this was one of the most boring textbooks I've ever bought. I did however save $37 buying it on Amazon, as compared to what I would have paid at the campus bookstore.

I have been teaching preschool dance in studios for over 20 years. I have never found such a helpful comprehensive book/curriculum tailored for the young dancers. There are tips for behavioral problems, excellent music and prop ideas, and even detailed lesson plans. My very favorite point that the author makes- something that I have said for years and years- is that the most important skill to be a successful dance teacher is a positive sunny attitude. This is an excellent resource for new and experienced teachers

Purchased this book for my granddaughter who is in college majoring in Dance. She said the book has been invaluable to her as she teaches elementary students about dance.

As a former dance teacher that kept running out of fun ideas for small children this book was a life saver! I mostly just read the activity ideas but I loved that they were structured by topic. I can't wait to teach again now that I have this book.

My granddaughter is taking contemporary dance, and the dance moves she is learning are outlined clearly in the book. It is a good reference for her, and for me to help her with what she's supposed to learn.

This is an essential book for teaching creative movement to children.

Helpful information and tips, especially for the new dance teacher!

Incredible resource for Dance Teachers. If ever one is lost when looking to teach any age creative dance, this book holds valuable knowledge to not only create fun and educational lesson plans, but teach the fundamentals of dance through a means other than technical steps and movements.

Bought for grandaughter whose starting to teach dance. She loves this book!

Anne Green Gilbert has written the 'bible' on creative dance. Thorough and easily understood. Every creative dance teacher should own a copy.

Very useful to prepare dance classes in preschool and elementary.
