Inclusive Creative Movement and Dance helps teachers guide students with diverse abilities to express their feelings and ideas through creative movement experiences bringing dance learning sharing and creation together. This book provides a brilliant step by step knowledge into inclusive for the teacher and the student. It shows inclusive dance workshop ideas lesson planning guides why to incorporate learning experiences.

This book by Karen Kaufmann 2006 provides detailed explanations and ideas to help Guide teachers in accommodating for all level of students attending. This aspect of the book has really inspired and helped my thought process. In the future I hope to utilise this book and it knowledge further to help me establish a work shop.

This book also explains ides in which help the attending pupil understand movements and all aspects of dance movement shapes and awareness and building relationships which are all key skills in dance and day to day life. This book also involves all National Standards for Dance Education, goals, movement glossary, journal reflection assignments, and simple assessments where by teachers can reflect and utilise throughout there workshop and inclusive dance practice.

This inclusive movement and dance guide book is collated into three parts. Part A gives a framework to help teachers dance inclusion for all their students. Part B prepares teachers to design inclusive dance experiences  workshops and extend them into performance and learning experiences. Part C is the book's centre with more than 100 dance-learning experiences presented in five chapters, or units, that teachers can use in their classes for students of all ages and abilities. This will be ideal for me to utilise throughout my professional practice.  This book has been a brilliant source for me to refer to throughout my inquiry, I feel that if all dance teachers were provided with this knowledge there would be more accessibility and awareness surrounding integrated dance.
