Dance Certificate (DANC-CC)
The field of dance education is taking an exciting step forward in Connecticut’s public schools. An increasing number of school systems have been including dance and movement education in their grades K - 12 arts curriculum. To support this activity, and to comply with the requirements of federal education legislation known as “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB), the Connecticut State Department of Education worked for several years with educators and the dance community to develop guidelines for teacher certification in dance, thereby ensuring that well-prepared educators deliver in-school dance programs.
