Ready, Set, Stop: How To Teach Mind-Body Skills By Not Moving
August 26, 2010 · Posted by Dance Advantage ·
When teaching children I sometimes need everyone to be still.
Being still, “freezing,” or not moving is a skill. I am sure I have said to a child at some point while teaching, “Stop moving” or “don’t move.” And I am equally certain that a majority of the requests were met with more wiggling. How can we as teachers or parents encourage stillness in another way?
Not moving requires action
When a person “freezes,” he or she is using a great amount of muscle and brain power. I tell my students that they are in ...

Appropriate Choices In Dance Choreography For Young Girls
June 1, 2010 · Posted by Dance Advantage ·
A video of young girls (around 8 years old) performing a fierce competition dance to Beyoncé’s Single Ladies surfaced online in May. It caused quite a stir in the United States when news and media networks picked up the story and questioned dance teachers’, choreographers’, and parents’ choices when it came to appropriateness in movement, costume, and song choice.
Of course, to those in the dance industry, this controversy is not really new and every once in a while our feelings on the matter bubble to the surface. It doesn’t take much to get the heated conversation going because people are ...

Jose Duran Fall 2010 Collection Film
March 12, 2010 · Posted by watch me move ·
It launched Thursday night at The Tribeca Grand. Jose Duran's Fall 2010 Collection was shown in a beautifully directed film that we shot not to long ago. It was harmonious fusion of all the creative mediums that I thrive on : movement and music, film, fashion and styling all came together seamlessly to create a unique experience. I'm thrilled to have been a part of it. Choreographing for this piece brought together the elements of structured improvisation. Our models Indiamara and Megan were both so open to receiving the direction and really allowed themselves to move fearlessly. And ...
