Karen Kaufman, a UM visiting dance instructor, developed a program at UM s Department of Drama/Dance that introduces university students to teaching creative movement to diverse populations. The program focuses on having college students teach dance and creative movement to people with disabilities. The program also takes student instructors out to the public schools to provide dance instruction to children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in dance classes. The program provides an opportunity for college student dance teachers to examine the ways in which creative movement can be utilized to enhance the lives of diverse populations of people.
