Toddlers to Adults

Susan Kramer

English &
Nederlands

The instructional books open the door and point the way for using kinesthetic techniques to teach the basic academics of math and language skills in primary education. The balance of theory and practical lessons is compiled from my research and teaching experience as a dance specialist with students of all ages and abilities.

I also wrote the online texts for the Rhythmic Movement Dance Series, part of the Gateway to Educational Materials (GEM) of the United States Department of Education.

My husband and I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
