| Publish Date: | May 1st, 2005 |
| Summary: | The article discussed how dance is implemented into education in various countries around the world.

After discussing what was being done throughout the world, it went on to make a case for why dance instruction is needed and how to get it done. The author believed that if more people would speak out, voice conccern, and get people to push for it then dance would find it's way into the classroom. |
