The primary goal and focus of this secondary school dance program may be summed up in a single overall objective :
To enable the pupil TO EXPERIENCE dance as a means of artistic expression and communication adapted to his own personality.
In order to achieve this objective, the teaching of dance should :
- improve the pupils perception of himself and his surroundings, as well as his ability to express this perception through dance;
- encourage the execution of easy, harmonious dance movements;
- enable the pupil to become more receptive to non-verbal communication;
- develop the pupils awareness of the psycho-social aspect of dance as an instrument of self-knowledge and a means of understanding his own culture as well as that of others.
