Summary: The study found that Swedish preschool teachers are well-prepared, flexible, and focused on meeting each child's needs when teaching dance. However, they lack their own bodily involvement, struggle with separating dance-specific knowledge from other learning areas, and find choreographic material intimidating. This lack of own bodily knowledge and choreographic tools may impact children's ability to develop dance knowledge in preschools.
