Developing a creative response to music through dance
Teacher's Notes - Autumn 2009

Music for Dance provides a thematically grouped resource bank of music for dance that has been carefully chosen for its relevance to the curriculum and its cultural diversity.

The programmes are suitable for use by both specialist and non-specialist teachers of dance, with single tracks of music that build into a performance piece.
