I live in Costa Rica and work as a guide on student trips and dancing is a must when it comes to each trip. It offers the kids a chance to learn about the culture. In Latin America the kids are born dancing and it is not something that they are afraid to do infront of a large group. You go to a wedding or family function and everyone is on the dance floor when the first song comes on. It is a great social event and also an incredible way to allow kids that dont speak each others language to interact with eachother. I feel dancing should be more a part of everday curriculum in US classrooms. If everyone did classes kids would start to do it more comfortabely. So many dances to try and learn and only two feet to do it leaves a lifetime of learning!!! Enjoy your classes!!! I could not agree more.
