This new and expanded edition of Teaching What You Want to Learn includes 124 essential essays based on the foundational values of Evans' pedagogy: Embracing Change, Cultivating Community, Honoring Personal Uniqueness, Seeking Specificity, Facilitating Active Learning and Dancing as an Expression of the Human Spirit. It is an eloquent and practical guide for both emerging and established teachers of dance and movement.

Evans has responded to current challenges faced by dance and movement educators. At a time when mobile devices, social media and Artificial Intelligence control how students engage in learning, and socio-political divisiveness increasingly adds stress to their lives, he offers methods and ideas to reflect on and refine teaching as a healing alternative to our troubling times. New essays include: "Supporting Trauma-Affected and Neurodivergent Learners," "Teaching is Also Learning," "Preparing Students for their Future, Not our Past" and "Evolving Your Personal Pedagogy,",

Evans contextualizes his guidelines by sharing the crystallizing life and artistic events that sparked his embrace of the strategies and methods he has gleaned from his six-decade career as an educator, performer, choreographer and practitioner of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System. This is a significant book for all new teachers of dance and movement as well as for established professionals who have not recently re-examined their own work.
