Dance Education: Basic Principles and Models for Nursery and Primary Schools

(Schott). English translation by Margaret Murray. This book has grown out of many years work with Orff-Schulwerk. In contrast to other "pure" methods of dance education, it shows the relationship of music to movement, to language and to poetry, as well as to pictorial or dramatic ideas or objects. Barbara Haselbach offers colleagues without professional dance training some stimulation for working with dance education for children of various ages, both inside and outside the school, and provides extensive material and examples for the teacher interested in dance. There are numerous photographs and dance step diagrams. With glossary and bibliography.
