Description:
In this work Graham McFee offers an original contribution to debates concerning the nature, scope, and purpose of dance for young people, defending a view of the distinctiveness of dance education based on recognising dance as an artistic activity. Although centrally a contribution to philosophical investigation, this text should be essential reading for all student student dance teachers and those interested in the place of dance in the curriculum.
