Dan Glickman Dan Glickman is a graduate of San Francisco State University where he received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He has an extensive background in several sports activities, exercise science, yoga, and specific dance forms. In addition to being a physical education instructor, he has also taught dance at the University of San Francisco, College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, as well as LACC since 1995. Philosophically, he attempts to create a bridge between his pragmatic approach of teaching to whatever learning styles are most effective for his students and the individual creative inspiration contributed by both he and the students. The gradual blending of athletics and creativity have been a gratifying and continuing source of personal fulfillment which he hopes will be transferred to each individual student in any way he or she may find of value, and so that the student may continue to enjoy and apply what they have learned in his or her life outside of the college as well. |
