"…Lessons that integrate the arts and science, ...operate on multiple levels, promote student engagement, greater mastery of reading, writing, and math, and higher order thinking." - Nick Rabkin and Robin Redmond, from Putting the Arts in the Picture: Reframing Education in the 21st Century

You know how folks wring their hands over cuts to the arts and physical activity in our schools?
At Sparkplug Dance Educational Resources, we combine the arts & physical activity, so children have access to world culture while they're getting healthy.

Some children have no exposure to the arts, and some have access to a few enrichment activities. But Sparkplug Dance Educational Resources exists so that one day, every single child has arts education within reach.

Our programs enrich learning across disciplines, all while teaching kids techniques to get active and calm down.
Through team-inspired creative process and collaboration, developmentally appropriate and gender-balanced movement experiences, students increase their physical, social and cognitive functioning as they integrate the arts and academics.
