Book excerpt: First Published in 1998. This book sets the foundations for educational dance in relation to pupils with wide-ranging learning needs. It takes seriously the notion of 'dance for all' and explores a developmental approach for taking movement into dance, with strategies to enable learners of all abilities to progress in the context of National Curriculum requirements. It is grounded in the work of Veronica Sherborne and dovetails her developmental creative movement programme with the framework for educational dance pioneered by Rudolf Laban.
