Mama, ich möchte tanzen! Der altersgerechte Einstieg in die Welt des Tanzes im Vor- und Grundschulalter

Als ehemaliger Tänzer und zukünftiger Tanzpädagoge liegt es dem Autoren besonders am Herzen, das Kind und seine vielfältigen tänzerischen Möglichkeiten im Vor- und Grundschulbereich unter verschiedenen Aspekten zu analysieren und in einer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit aufzuzeigen. Dazu liegen sowohl die körperliche wie auch geistige Entwicklung des Kindes, das Stilisieren ausgewählter Tanzarten und die Auseinandersetzung des tanzpädagogischen Wirkens im Kindertanzbereich im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung. Den Schwerpunkt zu Beginn dieser Arbeit bildet jedoch die Entwicklung von Tanz in Schulen vom 17. Jahrhundert bis zum heutigen Tag, um eine realistische Einschätzung von der Integration tänzerischer Elemente im Schulalltag widerspiegeln zu können. Diese Veranschaulichung ist besonders für die Arbeit eines Kulturpädagogen essentiell, um entscheidende Fortschritte oder Optimierungsprozesse im Vor- und Grundschulleben herbeizuführen. Wie sich die theoretischen Erkenntnisse mit dem praktischen Geschehen in Bildungseinrichtungen im Raum Sachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt decken, zeigt die abschließende Studie mit Kindern, Eltern, Pädagogen und Medizinern.
