The Dance Teacher: Using psychological skills and strategies to be the best you can be for your dancers: A conversation with a Doctor of Sport and Exercise Psychology


Listen Later

At Dance Education Canada, we are passionate about helping dance educators be the best they can be, in so that their dancers can learn, grow and progress in an environment that supports their social, cognitive, physical and emotional well-being both throughout childhood into adolescence and adulthood. It is essential that dance educators are aware of and able to assess their own emotional and cognitive state. The dancers' wellness, execution and performance both inside and outside of class is in our hands, and at the forefront of what we do in the studio, and thus this skillset is an essential part of your practice as a dance educator. Helping guide us in today's discussion, and providing us with some strategies, tips and tools is the Associate Dean of Queensland University of Technology Dr. Gene Moyle.
GUEST: Professor Gene Moyle is a graduate of the Australian Ballet School. After having danced with the Australian Ballet and Queensland Ballet Companies, Gene pursued further studies in psychology completing a Masters and Doctorate Degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Dr. Moyle focuses on the application of performance psychology and performance enhancement, particularly within the performing arts, elite sport and corporate domains. Her involvement in performing arts is extensive and includes her role as a contributor to DANCE Australia magazine and the Head of Student Health & Welfare at the Australian Ballet School. She currently holds the position of Associate Dean of International and Advancement at Queensland University of Technology Creative Industries.
