Every school in the world teaches according to the same system. English and maths at the top, then arts at the bottom. “There is no educational system on the planet that teaches children dance every day in the same way we teach them math” (Robinson 8:53). It is understandable to teach literacy; it is extremely important that everyone learns to read and write. However, I think it is equally important to understand how to use your body. Many people see dancing only as moving your body to music, just as people see basketball only as throwing the ball inside the basket. What most of us don't realize is that there is much more than what our eyes can see. When it comes to dancing, the dancer must understand how to use their body correctly. For example, being able to feel every muscle in the body to be able to flex or point your toes. Constantly using a part of the body that no one really uses in their daily life allows you to understand and be more aware of the muscles. Additionally, many people have back problems or ankle pain just because they don't know exactly how to walk properly or stay still. These are people who have never been interested in the arts or creativity itself. Creative classes, like dance, can teach children several mental and physical strategies that they can use in their daily lives. (INSERT RESEARCH CITATION HERE). Learning to dance can also teach you “observational learning.” Like playing basketball, there is always a technique to achieve the best results. Therefore, learning to dance helps you understand and use more of the muscles in your body, while learning any other physical activity will be much easier to understand. Not only that, but studies have shown that dancing makes you smarter. "Dancing integrates many brain functions... middle of paper ... as if it's important, but it also kills the creativity of many children. There are billions of brilliant people on this planet, but some of them are depressed because of their test results. Then they stop being creative and just focus on getting good grades and a degree to get a job. However, having a diploma no longer means much. Everyone gets a degree, but it's still difficult to find a good job after all these years of study. These people do not try to think of other possible ways to succeed; they give up and live a miserable life. As Ken Robinson said in his TED Talk video: “We need to radically rethink our view of intelligence.” Being smart shouldn't depend on how much you make or how well you do on a test. Being creative is what will change the world; this is what will bring original ideas to the table.
