Learning dance as an art form is a highly stimulating kinesthetic and cognitive learning experience. Dance enriches the self and broadens the mind and body connection. It is possible through dance to learn, experience, feel, and realize a greater understanding of the interrelatedness of movement, education and life. Creativity opens the channels of discovery and learning that lead to the formation of the whole person. Everyone should know the joy of moving freely and unselfconsciously so as to reveal a unique personality.
Dance celebrates the wholeness of the individual.
