The guide presents a rationale, objectives, activities, and resource lists for incorporating dance into elementary and secondary curricula. Dance gives students an opportunity for creativity and self-expression, even if they are physically or mentally handicapped. Types of dance include creative, folk, square, ballet, modern, jazz, tap, and musical comedy. Objectives of a dance program should include development of movement memory, flexibility, and coordination; recognition of styles of dance; understanding of historical and cultural perspectives of dance; attendance at live dance performances; and performance in front of peers. A major portion of the guide suggests specific dance activities in the following subject areas: art, health/science, language arts, math, music, and social studies. For example, in a science class about the solar system, the positions of the sun, planets, and moons may be danced out demonstrating the difference between rotation and revolution. The resource section presents a bibliography of books, records, and films for each type of dance, the history of dance, and dance for handicapped students. The appendix identifies sources of dance wear and records, specifications for facilities (floor construction, air circulation, and storage space), and options for careers in the field of dance. (AV)
