Dance, Sofia, Dance

February 15, 2010



I was tasked by my coopearating teacher to teach Sofia, one of my pupils in Villahermosa, a dance presentation as her talent for the search for King and Queen of Hearts. At first, I asked her if she danced before. And she repeatedly nodded at me. I then prepared for the dance presentation, the props, the music, and the dance steps and choreography. I prepared dance steps which I know she can execute based on my initial interview. But during are practices, she find it difficilt to execute what I'm trying to teach her. I asked myself why. I reviewed my discussion in Child Psychology and I found that child of that age really finds difficulty in complex dance figures. This is because their motor coordination is not well developed yet. So the next time that I will teach children of that age, I will consider this principle.
