I would totally take dance as a gym credit. It's a much more fun way to exercise and give your mind a break during the day!

Dance is the universal language. There is a speciality in mathematics that studies the dance patterns of bees. Dance will live with us after other trivia rests in another area of our brain. Since the beginning of time, dance has been an important part of who we are as a people. Celebrate and dance! I know what kind of a decision it is to incorporate the arts into a program. I used to be a high school superintendent. It's worth it.

This is an excellent idea, and I'm not sure why it wasn't implemented eariler!

as a retired high school teacher, I have seen how so much of the rationale for dance education is completely accurate!!

Dance helps to improve cognition, empathy, self-awareness and so much more. Do not discount the powerful transformative experience that is possible with the arts. Miss Parrin is a dedicated and very talented arts educator that will improve your school if given the opportunity to move students with the addition of dance curriculum.

Please consider a dance curriculum-our students need more options for self-expression and vigorous physical activity.

I was a dismal athlete throughout school until I was given a dance option for the last 2 years in high school. Not only did I continue physical activity via dance through all my years of K-12, I learned important exercises that I continue some 40 years later to maintain flexibility, strength and balance in my body to this day. Having the knowledge about body mechanics has improved my quality of life. It also gave a self-proclaimed klutz a means of gaining grace, poise and self-confidence at an awkward time in life.
