The Scholar, the Teacher, and the Students.
The Scholar: My name is Alli Moon! I am a Dance Education major at BYU and I am also pursuing a Math Education minor. I have fallen in love with education and the wonderful ideas and theories behind it. I have been particularly interested in dance because I feel like it is an art form that involves the whole person (Body, Mind, and Spirit) in a way that no other form can. I have been studying mostly contemporary and modern dance, but I have also found a profound interest in world dance. For the past two years I have been a member of BYU's International Folk Dance Ensemble (IFDE) and I have been able to learn about many different cultures and people through dance. With IFDE I have been able to dance and teach dance around California, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I love dance so much and I am passionate about sharing it, especially to students in the elementary classroom setting. I am very excited this semester to be involved as a dance scholar in the BYU arts bridge program.
