Theoretical and theoretical-practical classes will be taught (where experiential learning, group and individual work on dance teaching will be taught tutorial guidance - in short cycles of pedagogical practice and integration of the processes of analysis and evaluation on dance teaching) and used the b-learning system (moodle), where support materials will be available for each of the classes.

To enjoy the continuous evaluation, the student must have 70% effective assistance to the classes and deliver dossier on the UC didactics dance (compilation of all the work developed and requested in the classes, and can be complemented with other material that relates to the UC and that the student considers relevant its inclusion).
