This chapter presents a foundation to understand the special nature of dance as an art mode and its elements. Essential terms are introduced and questions are asked, like what dance is all about, what the difference is between movement and dance, kinaesthetic awareness, and quality of movement. Methodically, literally step by step, exercises and lesson plans are presented to teach creative dance ‘from scratch’ and explore its building blocks body, force, space, time and relationships together with the young dancers, probing, improvising, composing, and moving on into the magical world of dance.
