Why dance is just as important as math in school

"Would it be okay to have millions of students without access to math or language arts? he asks. “Of course not, and it should not be tolerated in the arts. There is a persistent myth that arts education is for the gifted and talented, but we know that the arts benefit everyone regardless of their vocational pathways,” he says. “We don’t teach math solely to create mathematicians, and we don’t teach writing solely to create the next generation of novelists. The same holds true for the arts. We teach them to create well-rounded citizens who can apply the skills, knowledge and experience from being involved in the arts to their careers and lives.”

Dance — and physical activity — should have the same status in schools as math, science and language. Psst: it may even help raise test scores, says Sir Ken Robinson.

The Hourglass class at Studio Maya builds the midsection of the body to be the power center of the body. The first 30 minutes of class focuses on the lower body (glute) exercises with a gentle challenge to your cardiovascular endurance. The second 30 minutes focuses on the core exercises on the mat, leaning back on the Bosu. The class finishes with stretches for the hamstrings and upper back. You can wear socks or go barefoot.

The body is bound by physical reality and it’s honest. If you want true honesty, you see what the body has to say.
