Shifts in Pedagogy and Autonomy in Virtual Dance Teaching and Learning

, PhDORCID Icon
Published online: 15 Mar 2023
 

ABSTRACT

This qualitative study investigates how two dance teachers (one in Toronto and the other in Hong Kong) shifted issues of pedagogy and autonomy in virtual dance classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reveals that participants quickly adapt to new environments and utilize available technologies in both teaching and learning. The study shares insights and practical strategies for dance educators to adapt and apply in regular dance classes even after the pandemic. In addition to teachers’ perspectives on virtual teaching, selected student works highlight how the shift of autonomy fosters creativity and boosts confidence.
