Child Interviews

For my Dance in Foundation class at the 92nd Street Y, we had to conduct Child Interviews. 
I just wanted to share a little bit with you and what I got out of it

Me: Do you dance?
Child: Sometimes like a fish!
Child: I move my arm like this, (Does an arm movement up and down like a fish).
Me: Like a fish dance?
Child: Yes!

The child in this interview was 2, almost 3. Or as she says 2 and 3/4 years old.  Yes it may seem like a silly conversation to an adult. But the child was making sense of the world around them. And through an art form like dance. If this is not enough proof that the arts are important at every stage even at 2 and 3/4 years old then you must be crazy.
