Dance Education Statistics
Advocates need to be able to clearly and concisely communicate information regarding the state of dance education and the potential impact of their proposed policies and programs. Frequently, the most efficient way to communicate this information to administrators, policymakers, and lawmakers is through the use of appropriate statistics. To view statistics that may be useful in your own advocacy efforts, click here.
