BENEFITS OF PERFORMING ARTS IN BC EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING

• Physical & Health Education Canada explains that “Performing Arts educate the entire self and provides an ideal vehicle for students to learn physically, intellectually, emotionally & socially”.

• By exploring concepts in science, language arts, math or social studies through movement, students are able to have hands on learning experiences which engages their brain on multiple levels.
