Dancing is dreaming with your legs

Dance is hardly given any importance in Austrian primary schools. Very few classes teach dance, which raises the question of why this is the case: is it a lack of experience, inadequate training or uncertainty? Numerous studies show that dance has a positive effect on children's personality development. These and many other aspects are therefore addressed and discussed in this book. Dance is essential for children's overall development, both mentally and physically. Positive personality development, self-confidence, self-awareness and a positive self-image can only be strengthened and achieved through movement. For this reason, child-friendly exercise programmes should be made available in all schools.
