Choreographers

From the National Dance Educators Organization:

“Dance embodies one of our most primal relationships to the universe. It is pre-verbal, beginning before words can be formed. It is innate in children before they possess command over language and is evoked when thoughts or emotions are too powerful for words to contain . . . . When their movement becomes consciously structured and is performed with awareness for its own sake, it becomes dance.

Children learn movement patterns as readily as they learn language. Just as all societies create forms of visual representation or organize sounds into music, all cultures organize movement and rhythm into one or more forms of dance. Yet, while our educational systems for early childhood include drawing and singing, they often neglect to include dance.”

Perhaps this is why child choreographers are more difficult to find? Please help us add to the list below if you can.
