Benefits of Dance Education

Kathy DeJean, lifelong dancer and dance educator at Lusher Alternative Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana, makes these observations about dance education:

* “Dance for children is much needed in a school curriculum along with physical education, because it explores their potential in movement ... on any size, shape, or color of body.”

* “Dance for children is much needed in a school curriculum along with physical education, because it explores their potential in movement ... on any size, shape, or color of body.”

* “I get a lot of feedback from classroom teachers who say, ‘I can tell these children have been with you and had dance because they are more assertive — not aggressive, but more assertive in their thinking and being able to share their thoughts.’”

* “Dance is a good experience for children who have a hard time sitting down. Once they come to movement and burn off some of that energy, they can focus on more sequential, factual information.”

* “Boys do like to dance. I start them off using the word ‘movement.’ Some boys are beautiful at movement. They get to explore that. Girls widen their perspective. They see that it is not just one style — dance is about what you think, what you feel, what you see.”

* “The nice thing about dance is that it is nonconfrontational and completely cooperative. You learn how to work together as a group to make a final product, and everybody has to participate in order for it to look good.”

* “Some people are going to look at this whole thing and say, ‘How do you know this is working?’ You just have to come in and look at it. There’s a level of self-confidence that develops, a level of poise that comes from this. Deep down inside it’s: ‘Wow, I can do this.’”
