Abstract
As the education system has grown, so has arts education, but not with great ease (Fegley, 2010). Dance education and associated curriculums are designed to allow students an opportunity to express themselves through creative movement. The Kennedy Center stated that arts integration is “an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate learning through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area meeting evolving objectives in both” (Silverstein & Layne, 2014). Kassing (2013) states that today, the dance scene is quite different from how it was a century ago. Dance now permeates our life as individuals and as a society, in academic settings, communities, and the media (Kassing, 2013). Even today, educators continue to debate whether dance should fall under the umbrella of physical education or the performing arts (Miller, 2021).
