Similar to music or art, dance can be used for any grade level. It is an incredible teaching tool that has been overwhelmingly ignored. While music is mathematical because of its use of TIME. Dance is mathematical because of its use of TIME, SPACE, FORCE, and BODY. Therefore it is a complete embodiment of mathematics. Dance Equations focuses on the development of an individual movement vocabulary, the introduction of mathematical themes through physical exploration, and the use of mathematics in choreography. Our mission is to offer each teacher the gift of dance without learning difficult steps. We demonstrate how to use dance, how to develop a dance lesson, and how to connect it to your curriculum.
