摘要：As a contribution to the field of community dance, this article explores the teacher
role in a setting where elderly people are offered to take part in a dance workshop.
The aim of the study is to describe the role of the teacher when offering participation
in dance as an artistic form among elderly people. The theoretical starting-point for
the study is aesthetic experience and communication, based on a phenomenological
philosophy, and the approach is arts-based research. The workshop series was
observed and filmed. Written reflections were gathered and six of the participants
were interviewed. The research material was analyzed in a phenomenological
manner. The result shows that the choreographer influences possibilities for
participation regarding: how workshops are designed and the inputs that are given, the atmosphere that is created, how the participants are to use their bodies, and
how dance as an artistic form of expression is offered.
