I agree about the importance of dance education. I liked your video clips at the end too!

No child left behind does put a strain on certain subjects. Dance is a great way to let loose and not only teach the mind but the body too. I loved how you found a politician's video on the subject to make it seem a lot more important. I also liked the dance clip to the U.S. states. This was very creative. Great Job!

Great way to incorporate a political message into something that is happening right now like No Child Left Behind. This was a funny video but it also put into perspective how important dance education is. Very well put together!

The arts are incredibly important to education. I am not a Hilary Clinton fan, but she was right on in your video. Way to use this silly little assignment to put forth a great message. The video was also put together very well with clear audio.

Great narration! I thought that the music was very out of place for the dance scenes at the end, but it made the video funny after such a strong message. I agree that the arts are an essential part of the curriculum and it's a shame that they take a back seat to math and reading. Great job!

What a great informative video. I never knew how important dance education was. It is also very true about the strain NCLB places on teachers and students. I was unaware that those educated in dance and alike actually score higher on SATs or other tests. Very well put together video with great narration.

Great Video. This really touches on an important issue. Even before NCLB was passed many steps were taken by our government to minimize or remove the arts from our schools. I am a firm believer that we need to concentrate more on the arts and less on performance based testing. While NCLB had many good intentions it was very detrimental to alternative subjects.
