      abstract = {This pivot offers an innovative approach to dance  education, bringing a creative and inclusive dance  education pedagogy into Chinese dance classrooms. Associate  Professor Ralph Buck's experiences of teaching dance at the  Beijing Dance Academy and the possible implications for  dance education in China lie at the heart of this text.  Through a critical examination of personal teaching  practice, pedagogical issues, trends and rationales for  dance education in the curriculum are highlighted. Informed  by constructivist ideals that recognise dialogue and  interaction, this pivot suggests that dance can be  re-positioned and valued within educational contexts when  pedagogical strategies and objectives are framed in terms  of teaching and learning in, about and through dance  education.
