Dance has been characterised as an exciting and vibrant art that can be used in the
educational setting to assist the growth of the student and to unify the physical, men-
tal, and emotional aspects of the human being [1]. It is an art form characterised by
the use of the human body as a vehicle of expression [2]. Others [3] suggest that
dance is abstract in the sense that it is not an expression of an act but an expression of
the feeling of an act. It is in this specific way that dance differs from creative dramat-
ics and mime.
An educational dance programme is designed not only to give students experiences
in expressive movement, but also to develop their ability to express themselves in
movement. This is done through progressive experiences, which develop kinaesthetic
and cognitive awareness of movement [3].
Dance education has experienced numerous changes in content and identity
through its history [4]. Until recently dance was part of the physical education pro-
gramme in many countries. It is now recognised as an art form comparable to music,
drama, and visual arts and equally worthy of study. However, it is true that of all the
art forms, dance receives the least attention.
It is interesting to note that the dance event constitutes part of our “intangible heri-
tage” [5], because it, unlike other art forms, leaves few physical records behind. There
