I would love for my school district to adopt a program like this. I trust it would be worth the results, though they wouldn't see the purpose since it's not related to testing.
Actually, as someone who has taken dance class and has dealt with those who have had some baggage like that, it is nice, because the 1st thing taught is permission to dance/touch and that things should NOT be icky or make you feel uncomfortable. The 1st thing that happens when you take a dance class IS consent and the okay to say no if you'd prefer. It is kinda empowering. Treat women like ladies, treat men like they can handle a simple rejection/no. It is amazing what putting things in a different light can do.
Can't believe this only has 10 comments, such an under appreciated talk. Fascinating and touching.

I will look for more socio-emotional curriculum. I agree with your point of view.
Yea, me too

How could this ballroom dancing work in a foster agency in which kids were violated?
