Dance Education
Dance is the art of gesture and movement. It transforms images, ideas, and feelings into movement sequences
that are personally and socially significant. Dance organizes physical energy within time and space, and
draws upon the power of music, literature, drama, and the visual arts.
Dance is a natural means of communication and expression, integrating movement, feeling, and intellect.
As a fine art, dance is a balance of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It embraces movement, creation,
and performance. Dance demands our personal best. It stretches the limits of our physical ability, of our
expressiveness, and of the human spirit. Dance is powerful, vital, and joyful. People dance for many reasons
and in all stages of life.
Appreciation of dance provides a context for understanding the world and contributes to a vibrant culture.
Dance education provides all students with opportunities to experience, understand, and value the language
and art of dance. Dance uses movement uniquely, providing an exciting impetus for learning in all areas of
the curriculum.
