Abstract	Since 1999, when the author first started teaching creative process-based dance programs in public schools, she has struggled to find the time to teach children the basic concepts and tools of dance while teaching them to be deliberate with their choreographic choices. In this article, the author describes a process that helps students and audiences to learn the language and expressive dynamics of choreography. While working at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (HSDC) during the summer of 2007, the author and other dance educators, Janet Brooks and Kathryn Humphreys, developed the process that they dubbed "Eyes See/Mind Sees" based on the teachings of Professor Mickie Geller of Ohio University, Dr. Larry Lavender of the University of North Carolina, and choreographer Liz Lerman. Beginning with the "Eyes," the audience starts by simply recalling what body parts, energy, use of space, use of time, or choreographic devices (repetition, retrograde, canon, etc.) the dance contained. The audience can also respond to the quality of the performance, commenting on the confidence or commitment of performers. During the "Mind Sees" portion of the process, the audience articulates meaning from the choreography based on what they visualize in their mind, or what they infer from the movement phrases.
