Upcoming Articles

I have two articles about to be published in the Journal of Dance Education.  The first, "Meter and Musicality in Tap Class," addresses practical methods for teaching tap dance musicality through the use of multiple meters.  I offer specific examples, and support the success of my methods through student reflection.  The article is slated to appear in a fall issue.  Exact date TBA.

The second article is a literature review of the journal as it addresses community dance practice.  Look for "Dance Scholarship and Community Engagement: A Literature Review of the Journal of Dance Education," in the near future.
