ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses that how does the dance teacher communicate with the children. The obvious answer is body language, the mode of communication people have in common. This is indeed true for most of the time, as very often much can be taught by simply demonstrating. Action songs, nursery rhymes and poetry can be employed, but these are not easy options when working with the deaf. Many deaf children find it difficult to understand their hearing teachers for a variety of reasons. Most deaf people have a wonderful sense of fun, and a good way to establish communication and to impart any message to deaf children is through a game. It is important to place the children near the sound source, so that they will find it easier to hear and to feel the vibrations. The spatial awareness of profoundly deaf children sometimes develops more slowly than in hearing children.
