What Teachers Have to Say:

The Current Status of Dance Education in US Schools

All 50 states have adopted arts standards; however, dance is extremely far behind in fulfilling those expectations due to:

> Lack of access

> Lack of opportunity   

The statistics below are based on the 14 states in the USA that reported arts data in the 2018-2019 school year. This represents 29.6% of the total population of school age children in the USA or 14.9 million students.

 

3%

of students participate in dance classes at school.

Enrollment tends to be focused in urban school districts.

When a school offers dance classes

12.8%

of students, on average, participate.

This number is higher in elementary schools and lower in high schools.

 

47x

more students are enrolled in music and visual arts classes.
