- The Dantzan Ikasi meeting of 2022 will take place in Eibar on 21 May. The initiative began last year with the objective of reflecting on the teaching of dance. They will address the importance of knowledge and the preparation of the body, the question of the Basque dance degree and the deficiencies observed in the teaching of Basque dance in Lapurdi and Nafarroa Beherea, among others. Registration is already open.
The programme of the 2022 Dantzan Ikasi meetings to be held on 21 May in Eibar is now available. We hope it will be as juicy as last year. In fact, one of the needs highlighted in these first meetings will be the presentation of a series of steps that have been taken in the field of pedagogical material for the teaching of dance.
In addition, the importance of knowledge and preparation of the body will be analyzed, it will explain what has been moving in recent months around the Basque dance degree or it will be raised whether the rounding that was naturally studied in the plaza should be taught today. There will also be a growing concern about the doubts and problems that arise in the recruitment, remuneration and management of dance teachers and dancers.
The deficiencies observed in the teaching of Basque dance in Lapurdi and Nafarroa Beherea and on the 10th anniversary of the Declaration of Basque Dance and in the post-Covid-19 scenario we will address the situation and challenges of Basque dance. And to finish, as it could not be otherwise, bailaremos.En the Eibar Armeria School will meet around the program of the whole day dancers, teachers, monitors, dancers, researchers, experts and experts.
