Dancing gives the student an opportunity
to work with others, developing teamwork, cooperation, and sense of
“belonging”.
Dancing, like any other subject, provides
the potential for feelings of success and the desire to improve.
Dancing provides an opportunity for
performance, a sharing experience, either as a participant or as an audience
member.
Dance is discovery. Working
creatively, a student explores the mind and body. The student is
allowed to make an individual statement - a discovery of self.
Dancing involves the “total self”.
It requires concentration and thought, feeling and emotion.
Dance is a physical activity. Like
sorts, dance requires efficient utilization of movement and emotion.
Dance provides responsibility training by
virtue of being part of a team. At the same time it permits the student the
freedom to enhance his creative sense in his individual interpretation of
the dance.
Dance encourages effort. Students
“try” and take risks without feeling “dumb”.
