The Binational Dance Conference was organized into three focal themes--verities, values, and visions in dance--to emphasize the known and accepted worth and value of dance, and to stimulate through knowledge and idea exchange, imaginative directions for dance in the future of both the United States and Canada. This thematic structure is also the basis of organization for this publication. The "Verities" section includes reports on recent research, electromyography, use of imagined action in teaching, neurophysiological development of dancers, and the scope of dance. "Values" discusses an experimental dance study for children with learning disabilities, the use of reinforcement procedures in dance therapy, and systematized dance instruction. "Visions" addresses computer technology and dance, strategies for aesthetic education, and a report on the dance activities of IMPACT, a two-year project funded by the U.S. Office of Education. The thematic sections are preceded by an introductory article considering dance as the universal language. The appendices include profiles of the authors, a list of films and film resources, the conference program, and a listing of conference delegates and guests. (MM)
