We know that people remember what they have learned according to two things that happen inside the learner -- attention, and thinking about the material.  Situations in which speeches are delivered leave most people looking in the right direction but not actively listening.  Situations in which dialogue and personal interactions happen leave most people debating, challenging each other and themselves. 

The greatest learning -most apt to translate into understanding and action- comes from experiential learning or "doing" opportunities.  Dance/USA believes that the development and implementation of programs that include these components will be in the best interest of all who are involved in both delivering and receiving them.
