Abstract

Our research, conducted with ten dance teachers in schools, colleges and universities in the Montreal area (Quebec, Canada), aims to document their use of qualitative movement analysis knowledge in their teaching. In particular, we aim to enhance, question and explore how this knowledge is understood by the participants and mobilized in their classrooms. The main benefits of this knowledge, according to four participants’ testimonies targeted in this article, concern their observation and communication skills, which influence an enlightened guidance of students’ learning supported by an “ethic of sensitivity” (Kuypers & Godard, 2021).
