Learning "in" Difference: Difference as a Pedagogical Tool
Bergonzoni, Carolina
Journal of Dance Education, v22 n4 p265-268 2022
This article calls educators to continue using accessible language to support dancers with disabilities and promote disability esthetic in dance. I will draw from my experience working in "inclusive dance," a term that will be discussed and problematized. The article also challenges the idea of the "ideal" body in dance. It provides both practical and theoretical examples of terminology for working with dancers with and without disabilities as a way to make the dance studio and classroom more inclusive and accessible.
