Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to determine, by a survey of expert opinions, the minimum knowledge and skills which are needed by the elementary classroom teacher for the teaching of dance to children, both as a separate and as an integrated activity. The procedure used in securing data for the examination of the major questions of this research was a modification of the Delphi technique. An initial survey of national and regional chairpersons or directors of selected dance organizations was carried out by the investigator in order to identify those persons who were considered experts in the area of children’s dance. From this survey 23 experts were identified and contacted as possible participants in the study. A group of 14 experts agreed to take part in the research project and of this group, 12 completed the final questionnaire.
