Pathway
Dance has huge value as an educational tool. It serves to improve students' life skills (communication, cooperation, self expression, creativity, confidence, problem solving) as well as their Dance knowledge. Increasingly in our technology driven world, these skills are becoming lost. Many workplaces are expressing a need for their work force to have greater inter personal skills.
