inquiry thoughts

My initial inquiry plan was the importance of dance inside education, here I wanted to explore the benefits the students recieved from their dance classes and the way dance was taught, I started to open a few too many doors within this inquiry as each thought led onto the next. I have started to carry out my interviews and observations. From observing a college btec level dance class it was brought to my attention that a lot of the students had never danced before they started at the college which led me to think what do they expect to get out of their dance classes and what do they infact learn and gain. They have dance, improvisation and choreography classes where they develop skills such as: team buliding skills, creativity, confidence, expression. Most of these students will not go onto a career in the performing arts indusrty but all various different careers yet the skills they learn in these dance classes are vital and enable them to pursue all sorts of carrers. Which led me onto the inquiry of 'the importance dance has on the wider creative learner'.  I am currently exploring literature related to my inquiry and profession, if anyone has come across any literature in relation I would really appreciate it.
