Creativity and Dance in education

I have just come across the Ken Robinson's video Verity has posted and it has led me to further thoughts.
He Said ' If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original'.
This really opened up my eyes i am currently exploring ways to develop my teaching and choreographic styles and am struggling with new and stimulating techniques, and I think this is because I'm afraid to be unsuccessful and something not work. I am so used to the way I teach and the fact that it seems to work that I'm afraid of the unknown. So Ive set myself the task of the next class I teach I will explore new methods and note the outcomes- what worked and what didn't.

Another quote was 'In Every country in the world, the arts are at the bottom of the list, why do we not teach dance every day like we teach maths?'
Why is this? Is it simply because subjects like maths are deemed more important in every day life? I came to think of when I started dancing, it was my mum who noticed that I needed to be active and dance was what inspired me and I was lucky enough to go to a school that encouraged the arts. Should education be nurturing children's creativity further and opening doors in whatever genre it may be?

Creating an SIG

Through discuusions already developing on the BAPP facebook page, it is clear that quite a few of us have the same interest in dance education/ teaching. The main topics coming up in discussions are:

Teacher training.
Qualifications.
The effects of Dance in education.
Teaching Techniques.
Transition from performer to teacher.

I feel we are creating a great understanding and developing lines for enquiry. However I am also looking into choreography as a development from being a dancer I also feel this does link into my teaching as im always creating new work for the students.
I have started a new dicussion on the bapp facebook page 'transition onto choreography ' I would love some feedback from you all on this topic.

Developing lines of professional inquiry

After exploring the reader a few times I have started to narrow down the gaps in my practice and where I could start developing an inquiry.
I started by noting the skills needed to be a professional Dancer- the field I am currently working in:

Dance Technique and ability.
Discipline
Performance and people skills
Experience
Understanding of History
Anatomy/Nutrition

I then made note of the skills needed to be a Dance teacher which is something I do now but am also looking to do for my future coureer:

Knowledge of syllabus
Experience with children
Experience in performance and teaching
Health and safety
Musicality/Creativity

Already after making this list I can see areas that need developing, in peticular musicality/creativity and assesment techniques, I would like to develop ways and new concepts of how to teach, how to get the children learning. What techniques really do work? I ask myself what can I bring to this profession? Every Teacher has a way of teaching I feel i have definatly been infuenced by mine, maybe I should explore others further?

I also looked back to the inquiry task last module, I wanted to explore the lack of training in dance teachers why arn't there more regulations, anyone can set up a dance class, but does qualifications really mean more than experience? I  am also very interested in choreography i like exploring different choreographers styles and techniques, I find it facinating exploring what others can us as a stimulus could i develop this into my teaching practice?
I also feel a strong skill I will need in my future teaching is managerial skills, will I be able to run a buisness what extra skills will I need for this?

Being a competent performer doesn't mean I can teach or choreograph, What do you need to make that transition?

Lots of questions here I am going to explore please let me know your thoughts.
