This study examines how a professional dancer interacts with children involved in physical expression. The researcher focuses his observations on six workshops provided for three and four year old children. This study uses protocol analysis in an attempt to understand the overall improvement of the children's physical expression by critically reviewing the process and structure of the workshops. This study also includes the dancer's personal reflections in order to analyze how he implements his professional practice. The findings indicate that the dancer's attention to children's activities just before giving his instruction and demonstration is an important aspect in order to nurture as well as foster children's physical expression. Since this quality of attention can be assessed as a key disposition and professional skill for care givers, this study may provide a new perspective for research in care givers' disposition.
