Let´s Dance : För att utveckla motoriken?

Sammanfattning: Abstract Dancing and the body`s ability to express itself has been an interest of mine for a long time. For that reason I would like to find out more on how you as a pedagogue can work with dancing as a way to develop motoric activity. The purpose of my research is to find out how pree-school-pedagogue`s and sportsteacher`s are working with dancing, and also how children in a pree-school class apprehends the idea of dancing before and after a dancelesson. My question for this paper is: How can dancetutoring in pree-school develop children`s motoric activity? To find out the answer for this question I have also chosen to use relevant litterature within the subject. Since the examination covers only the answers from four pedagogue`s and six children I can not make a generell conclusion that covers all children or pree-schools. However can I show the benefits of using dancetutoring in pree-school to develop children`s motoric activity. The result showed that children and pedagogues have the same apprehension about dance, and resembles this with a movement. The children`s answers are not as self-evident as the pedagogue`s but for me, they are of equal value for my examination. Some of the benefits with using dancing to develop motoric activity are, according to litterature and pedagogue`s: strengthened motor activity, coordination, flexibility, a developed movement pattern, consciousness of the body, increased knowledge of the body and self-esteem. Keywords: dancing, motoric activity, movemnet & play.
