Reflecting on this input I have learnt the value of dance and the importance of it in the classroom. I have always loved drama and known the importance of it for a child, but never really thought about dance as being just as an important expressive art. I think this is because it has never been something which I feel confident.

From this input on Friday I have discovered that it is not about having all the knowledge on dance, different types/styles of dance but allowing children to explore their feelings through music. Dance gives them the opportunity to be as creative and silly as they want, allowing them to show their emotions through dance.

This input helped me to gain some confidence on teaching dance, but it also allowed me to gain some insight on how important it is on a young person.
