Petrie, Jennifer L.
Journal of Dance Education, v21 n4 p224-235 2021
This article explores the future of music and dance education in Ghanaian senior high schools as envisioned by administrators, teachers, and students. Participants illuminate issues requiring action, including: (1) curriculum content; (2) access; (3) resources; and (4) infrastructure. The study employed a qualitative multiple case study approach incorporating post-colonial theory, interdisciplinary African arts theory, and educational leadership and organizational behavior theory. The study contributes to the literature on dance education in Ghanaian, post-colonial, and global contexts.
