Utah Core Curriculum Dance Standards K-6
Study in the arts is an essential means - not an end - to acquiring thinking
skills, creativity, the ability to change, and the facility to teach oneself. In
a safe, nurturing environment, the arts enable students to express their
feelings, communicate thoughts, explore their creativity, solve problems,
communicate ideas, develop a sense of community, and appreciate themselves as
participants in history, tradition, and culture. Learning in art, dance, drama,
film, and music advances and strengthens motor skills, promotes considerate
behavior, ability to work well with others, self discipline, perception, and
sensitivity. Fine Arts experiences contribute to the developmental process of
understanding one another and naturally motivate students in all their learning.
The Fine Arts Elementary Core Curriculum incorporates four art forms: Dance,
Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts.
