Dance is a natural method for learning and it is a basic form of cultural expression. Children learn movement patterns as readily as they learn language. Dance is a powerful ally for developing many of the attributes of a growing child. Dance helps children mature physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. Mrs. Levine incorporated dance into her elementary teaching program by encouraging children to study dance during lunch time and after school. Dance was used to motivate her students and they were also awarded scholarships by the renowned jazz teacher/choreographer Frank Hatchett to study at Broadway Dance Center. These students also known as Positive Energy performed and competed at an international competition in Milan, Italy that was featured on the Michael Bonjourno television show.
