Ethical concerns with my proposal

I have been doing more research into my proposal and ultimately the main ethical consideration are who I will be using for it. Children. Adding into the fact that they have medical issues which are also highly personal. This will require me to get consent from parents and my superiors in order to carry out any real data gathering as just observation could be okay but won’t be enough for an in depth analysis of how the issues affect the children and their movement

This week has involved a lot of ethical research and discussions with my superiors over how I can proceed with my enquire in the next module in the best most efficient way for everyone. Without impacting my job.

my practice

Whilst currently doing my practice, dance teaching I have a main focus on observation going forward, both as I teach myself as well as when assisting as I learn to become a better teacher. I began to sit in some lessons with my current mentor who has taught me but also has over 50 years of experience. I found with observation myself noticing more positives and negatives towards different styles of teaching and how I teach. I picked up on some areas where I would've done something completely different as the outcome of certain teachers affects the few not the many.

That's my goal as a teacher to have a positive impact on younger generations and pass on...

I had got most of my data gathering in observation done in person which was great. But with the interview I now have to do through an email format as my participants don’t have time for Zoom.  It’s a small mishap but something I will include in my essay.

Beginning. And reflecting

With starting this programme I must be reflective. And in doing so on my life and my practice it brings up many different parts. Ethics. Feelings. Theories. Opinions.  My practice now is within dance teaching. A place I got to because of how my body had impacted my previous study in professional dance. That was all I wanted to be a ballerina. I auditioned and got in at numerous places but there was always something holding me back. Something that has held me back for years in dance. I never saw it as something that held me back though, that opinion being put in the hands of teachers and prospective places of study. Scoliosis. Something that is central to my practice now and has been before. However before I saw it as a negative because others told me it was. As I branch into teaching I see it as a strength. A way of helping others like me, raising awareness of it but also how knowing about anatomy and movement and putting that into practice can help dancers. And not hinder them ...
