Dance is a valuable and essential component to every student's education. Dance education can reach students who are not otherwise engaged in school by providing alternate outlets for learning, self-expression, and physical activity. However, dance education is under-represented in America's schools. In this thesis investigates, I employ a case study methodology to investigate the question, Where is the time, space, and energy for dance in education? The case follows the first year of a two-year initiative I call "the DANCE project," which involves a professional dance company partnering with eight teachers in learning to incorporate movement into their curricula. Participant responses suggest that the program could have a lasting impact on dance appreciation and teacher practice. By increasing communication in the dance and education communities, dance educators might develop a cohesive message that policy makers can hear. Combining top-down advocacy with grassroots work presents a possibility for large-scale change.
