    Post: Boys and Dance

    Posted by mt_preservice_teacher on 4/23/09


    Hey,

    So I am a pre-service teacher and I start a five-week
    practicum with my grade 4/5 class next week. For PE, I
    will teach a dance unit. I have danced since I was 3 1/2
    and know ballet, jazz, folk, modern, hip hop,and
    ballroom. I have also been teaching dance for quite a few
    years now. However, most of my students have been
    female. If they were male, they were usually too little
    to care about the gender stereotyped associations that
    dance can carry.

    My mentor teacher has challenged me/ advised me to make
    dance "cool" and "acceptable" for the male students too.
    Any tips on how I could go about this?
