Subclaims¶

q1 i? The structure of a traditional dance class does not offer sufficient opportunities for students to develop a sensitized relationship with their body, and technical training pursued through mechanical repetition can leave dancers disembodied from their experience. → Enghauser 2007

Evidence¶

Enghauser 2007¶

Enghauser, R. (2007). Developing Listening Bodies in the Dance Technique Class. JOPERD, 78(6). https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ795590 doi:10.1080/07303084.2007.10598039

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical argument opening the article, citing Fortin (2002) on dancers becoming "disembodied from their experience" through "mechanical repetitions of movements." The article offers no empirical data for this assertion.

"The structure of a traditional dance class does not currently offer sufficient opportunities for students to develop a sensitized relationship with their body."
