She examines current trends and issues in dance education to show how dance can be successfully justified and taught in today's changing educational environment." "The book is essential and timely reading for university dance educators and their students, as well as other teachers, school administrators, physical educators and dance specialists in grades K-12, dance studio owners and instructors, professional dancers, and policy makers."--Jacket.
