Abstract

This study investigates the necessity of dance education as an art education for the pre-school children and suggests the R.A.D. program as a systematic and efficient dance education program. R.A.D. program is suggested by the reasons as follow : First of all, it is very systematic and has step-by-step education structure. Second, it has been widely adopted and further developed as a ballet education program for the children by many countries. Third, the program begins with and emphasizes the very basic body movement training before it deals with any ballet steps or techniques. It is specially important for the young children to develop the flexibility and the sense of balance. Overall, the dance education as a special ability education for the pre-school children through the R.A.D. program will make it more likely for the children to enjoy dance through their lifetimes. Furthermore, it will be easier to find the gifted children in dance through the program.
