Experiencing Dance: From Student to Dance Artist, Third Edition, is a best-selling high school text for students who have completed an introductory dance course and want to further expand their dance knowledge and skills. Geared toward students in dance II, III, and IV classes, this text places teachers in the role of facilitator and opens a world of creativity and analytical thinking as students explore dance as an art form. Designed to meet national and state dance education standards, Experiencing Dance offers a complete and flexible dance curriculum that will allow students to understand dance through creation, performance, analysis, and response.

Choreographing dance in a variety of styles and forms and incorporating various production elements for the performance
Preparing for a future as a dancer or choreographer or for a career that is otherwise connected to dance
