Observing Seasoned Teaching Artists

I learned most of the teaching practices I know by watching others. But I also learned it's hard enough to schedule your own classes without trying find a time to watch others teach. Dale Davies (of the ATA) has helped solve this by posting the following clips of great teaching artists at work:

What is available on DVD, YouTube? A few I found just looking briefly:
Michael Freeman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygMyuhhfxFQ
Anndee Hochman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATKoPgN-EuU
Andrew Grueschow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN5gc5bR2Js
Tunde Afolayan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76oCBABUi0Q
Artist Teacher Debriefing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSzq88f7tbE
LaToya Wigfall, Alvin Ailey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt5r2CEO0Os
Karen Wilson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyGOFLCAdUI

ATA will be posting these on www.teachingartists.com also. By sharing our knowledge and ideas we are working together to build upon those three essential questions: Who Are Teaching Artists? What do Teaching Artists do? Where do Teaching Artists Fit Into The Communities They Serve?
