Chapter 1 Reflections

As a dance specialist and therapist, the way that I communicate will be very key to making sure that students and clients receive what they need in the most efficient and personal way.  Detailed plans and articulate notes will be necessary, and they must be organized in a manner that will be useful for others.  Although a lot of the work I do will be independent, there will still be time for collaboration with others in my department and field of study.  It will be critical for me to not only provide accurate and clear information, but I will need to be capable of listening and receiving information from others.  By developing the right listening skills and abilities to work with others, my research and works will be more acceptable and tangible for recipients.  I will be working closely with people of cultural variances and those with disabilities.  My communication with these people must be articulate and holistic.
