This week in relation to my inquiry question on how does dance support learning,  I did some research around how dance can benefit cross curricular subjects. As such, I learned how dance can support students learning whether that be learning math,  literature, science etc, dance is able to help students. You may wonder while how? While the reason is primarily because dance allows students to be actively engaged and instead of just listen they can do. The action of doing allows students to be successful and supports them as they are able to better understand and visualize concepts as they are working them through movements. As a result, dance effectively demonstrates the idea of learning all while support diverse students needs and learning styles (kinaesthetic, auditive and visual approaches).

Furthermore, below I have included some articles and a video that demonstrates how dance can be effectively used in the classroom to support the learning of diverse subjects.
