Adapted Dance
This podcast was dedicated to learning more about adapted dance within the physical education curriculum. This episode guest starred two brand new PhD students at the University of Wisconsin Madison- Heather Katz and Laura Prieto. Both of these guests have had extensive experiences incorporating adapted dance units into the physical education curriculum in order to allow children with disabilities access to dance. Within this conversation, we discuss what is adapted dance, how one can incorporate it into their physical education curriculum and include students with disabilities, and the impact of adapted dance on students with disabilities.
