What benefits can a worldly understanding of dance education have on our delivery of classes as dance educators? A well-rounded understanding of dance, across countries and cultures provides unique insights and perspectives that, if aligned with your perspectives on teaching and applicable and appropriate for your students, can add a richness and depth to your class. All knowledge we acquire as dance educators can inform our own teaching philosophies and goals for our classes. Today we will gain insight into secondary and post-secondary dance education in Korea with the help of Yerin Lee.
