General Information
What is Dance?
- Learning in dance is more than just taking part in a physical
activity.
- The opportunity to create their own dances is important for children,
as is learning to observe and reflect on their own work and that of others.
- It is our responsibility as teachers to train pupils in the skills
necessary to ensure they have the ability and opportunity to communicate
meaning
through movement.

no. 28)
"Dance is the human activity most likely to promote Joy." (Dance
