Children move naturally.They move to achieve mobility, they move to express a thought or feeling and they move because it is joyful and wonderful.
Dance is a natural method for learning and a basic form of cultural expression.Yet ,while our educational systems for early childhood include drawing and singing they often neglect to include dance. It is very much important that educational system provide our children with developmental benefits and unique learning opportunities.
