Diana F.
Green, Arts in Education
Program Manager at the Alabama State Council on the Arts
announces the release of "Choreographing from Within." This
book is designed particularly for college students, but
includes language easy
enough to follow for any age level.
Instructors, who wish to begin offering a creative element
to their
classes, will find dialogue to guide their students into
moments of discovery,
which may be used with any technique. Nurture the creativity
in your students
early, and watch the excitement build in their dancing
onstage and off.
