provide the foundation for the lesson plans and activities tailored for
physical education, kinesthetic learning, and arts education. Each lesson
plan and activity can be customized to fit into any curriculum. Includes
appendices on equipment and dance-education networking resources. A
specialized list categorizes age-appropriate dance activities, sample lesson
plans and group dances. Author: Anne Dunkin. For detailed information and
