Abstract
This artist reflection presents an overview of a nature-based approach to movement education for children and youth. Using a pedagogy that has evolved over more than four decades, the author shares personal anecdotes and student reflections that present compelling evidence to the efficacy of connecting creative movement exploration with nature and environmental awareness and demonstrates how nature-inspired dance provides students with opportunities to learn about themselves, develop new ways to see and interact with the natural world, and create dances that articulate their knowledge and concerns about water, wildlife, climate change, eroding habitats and the future of our planet.
