Description¶
An eight-lesson, four-week interdisciplinary program teaching Greek traditional dance with "thematic choices from music and sociology", delivered twice weekly in 45-minute physical education classes. Four lessons drew on music concepts (rhythm, tempo, meters) and four on sociology concepts (coexistence, cooperation, bullying), using aids such as metronome marks and collaborative teaching, and was compared against eight typical curriculum folk dance lessons.
