Hi again, I am back with an update!

My inquiry subject will be how does performing arts help students learn and grow? I have started some research and would like to focus my inquiry on dance specifically.
Here is a video that demonstrates responses of children towards their experiences and thoughts about dance. These children suggest that dance has empowered them to succeed, as such it demonstrates the importance of dance!

This video is an advertisement for a Canadian program that is called Sharing Dance by Canadas National Ballet School. This Sharing Dance program shares various resources for teachers and is a program that supports the use of dance in different settings notably in school classrooms. The following is the link to the website incase you want to take a look: https://www.nbs-enb.ca/Sharing-Dance/Sharing-Dance-Kids/Sharing-Dance-in-the-Classroom

Dancing serves as a means for students to move and learn valuable skills that extend beyond just dancing. It allows students to visualize, get up and move as well as listen all while cooperating with others. It also has many health benefits that can help support children. If you want to find out more about this subject, stay tuned on my blog for more soon!

Here is an example of a creative dance lesson plan that could be used in the classroom (intended for the younger years, approximately grade 3 and below) : https://www.oercommons.org/authoring/55717-creative-dance-handshake-dance/view
