"Jag tolkar er tystnad som ett ja" : En kvalitativ studie om kommunikation av dansrörelser och feedback vid fjärrundervisining i dans.

Sammanfattning: The Covid-19 virus has affected dance education in Sweden and created new conditions for dance teaching. The purpose of this study is to investigate how dance teachers communicate dance movements and feedback, when teaching in dance which is conducted in distance learning in Upper Secondary School. Further, the study will discuss challenges and opportunities with dance education in distance learning. Through observations of dance teaching, the study will investigate how three different dance teachers in the genres of Jazz Dance, contemporary and classical ballet communicate dance movements and feedback in distance learning. With a theoretical starting point in social semiotic multimodal communication the study will analyse how semiotic recourses are being used in dance education through distance learning. The result shows that the teachers communicate using both voice and body as two dominant semiotic recourses when communicating dance movements and feedback. The result also shows more challenges than opportunities in dance education through distance learning.
