This is a reference book for dance and physical education teachers. It offers a wide variety of activities, from rhythmic games and aerobic dance-fitness routines, as well as teaching social dances, such as the waltz, foxtrot, tango, merengue, salsa/mambo, rumba and swing. It aims to help students get involved in the process of learning to dance using assignments to create their own work, review questions and "Critical Thinking Challenges" at the end of each chapter. This new edition has a stronger focus on dance as a tool for social development and includes suggestions for setting up a non-threatening environment and how to include students of all abilities. It is designed to be user-friendly for teachers. For example, the book includes an easy-to-use rhythmic activity finder to help teachers reference the available dances and activities in the book, the CD of music means that there are no extra expenses or extra time and effort needed to find appropriate music for the dances and has been cross referenced in the book making the music for each dance easy to find.
