My students develop greater listening skills and concentration, math skills, historical perspectives, and cooperative behavior. Their improved behavior is noted after returning to class. I have found the dance residency deepens my students understanding of important math concepts. My students are learning social graces of a historical era in which courtesy and manners were common. My students develop greater self esteem from knowing that they can be well-mannered and courteous.”
