“Dance is as important as mathematics,” said Robinson to his audience at Lehigh. He continued to say that dance education is an effective technique for communicating with others, learning about different cultures, and improving relationships between genders.
“The real principle that governs human ability is diversity,” Robinson said. “We have all kinds of abilities across different disciplines and fields.”
Because the entire world is a community of learners, Robinson believes each school should be different. He says that the current educational system promotes academic intelligence, emphasizing output and graduation rates.
“We have confused academic ability with human intelligence,” Robinson said. “Academic ability is important, but it is not the whole of human intelligence. There would be no music, no business, no dance or no arts.”
