Why arts education?

According to Americans for the Arts:

  A student involved in the arts is four times more likely to be recognized for   academic achievement

  Low income students who are engaged in the arts are more than twice as       likely to graduate from college

  Students involved in the arts are:

        four times as likely to participate in a math or science fair

        three times more likely to win an award for school attendance

        four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement

        three times more likely to be elected to class office

   Low socioeconomic status students with a high participation in the arts          have a dropout rate of 4%, but their peers with a low participation in the      arts have a dropout rate of 22%

   Low-income students who are highly engaged in the arts are more likely        then their peers with low arts involvement to have obtained gainful              employment, completed college, and volunteered in their communities 

 "A person steps eagerly into the world of dance. In a class, a person is free to move, they experiment with their own energy, time and space. They discover the language of movement - they begin to speak through their body. A person who is eager to move, especially a child, begins to discover and express themselves without fear and can grow into the kind of person they want to become. A child's discovery 

of dance is a special moment of delight. The first innocent, spontaneous expression through movement, responding to rhythm can blossom into a rare talent."
