Abstract | This chapter presents an innovative approach to developing advocates for dance and young male dancers in teacher education programs. The approach exposes preservice generalist elementary teachers to dance from a creative perspective by focusing on choreographic practice. This features students’ choreographed video dance projects and related appreciation tasks. Drawing on a pilot study with six males, either teacher education students or graduates, the chapter assesses the impact of their engagement. Significantly, the research showcases the potential of this creative approach for generalist male elementary teachers, highlighting how it enhances their capacity to become advocates for dance and contribute to young male dancers’ de-stigmatization. |
