Abstract
This thesis explores the relatively recent phenomenon of in-school arts partnerships
through the specific lens of integrated curricula. Through a literature review and pilot
project, its goal is to propose and evaluate the feasibility and viability of integrated arts
partnerships in dance at the elementary school level, given challenges currently facing
teachers under the No Child Left Behind Act. Chapter one describes the context and
purpose of this study. Chapter two establishes important methods and definitions for
the literature and research review. Chapter three examines recent and important
literature and issues impacting arts in education and in-school dance partnerships.
Chapter four provides a detailed background, generally and specifically situating the
pilot project geographically, culturally, and within the methods employed in conducting
and evaluating the project. Chapter five reports project results and summarizes
conclusions.
