Abstract
This paper offers an interrogation of dance training methodologies used as a basis for dance education, training, and pedagogy by Flatfoot Dance as it operates in the African contemporary context of South Africa. Focus is placed on interrogating the dance education work, which uses dance as a methodology for life skills training around health, HIV/AIDS, and sexuality, and the more focused training of young dancers for a performance career. All of this is navigated in the postcolonial context of looking for a dance pedagogy that speaks to the context of the South rather than appropriating a very problematic “globalised” process of defining dance training and pedagogy.
