California Dance Institute (CDI) was founded in 2001 by Joffrey Ballet principal dancer Carole Valleskey. CDI was founded as a West Coast affiliate of Jacques d'Amboise's National Dance Institute. CDI teachers have all been trained in the rigorous NDI teaching methodology. Serving over 1600 students〔http://www.californiadanceinstitute.org/org/california-dance-institute〕 in Los Angeles County, CDI's in-school and after-school programs〔http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/top-lists/board-of-education-adopts-performing-arts-curriculum-for-public-schools/〕 provide a structured set of lessons in rhythm, music and movement. The schools served by CDI are in ethnically diverse, low-income neighborhoods. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=California Dance Institute )〕 According to founder Carole Valleskey, "Virtues are habits, and dance, as taught by CDI, is habituation in many of the skills of learning, as well as the components of good character. Dance, properly taught, is like sport, properly understood."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Pleasures Of Precision )〕 CDI has been supported by notables such as Angela Lansbury〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Angela Lansbury Fundraiser to Benefit California Dance Institute )〕 and George Will,〔 as well as numerous foundations such as the Pasadena Showcase for the Arts,〔http://www.pasadenaindependent.com/school-and-education/pasadena-showcase-house-for-the-arts-awards-685000-in-gifts-and-grants-to-62-organizations/〕 the Herb Alpert Foundation, 〔http://www.herbalpertfoundation.org/foundation_grantees2.html〕 and the California Arts Council.〔arts.ca.gov/programs/files/CAC-AIS-2015-16Grantees.pdf〕 Neuroscientist Dr. Adele Diamond has explained that CDI's methodology helps to develop Executive Function, a strong predictor of student success from Kindergarten through University and throughout life. According to Dr. Diamond, CDI helps students to develop working memory, cognitive flexibility, self-control and discipline, the three main aspects of Executive Function.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMoUJRfGJxA〕 ==See also== *National Dance Institute *National Dance Institute of New Mexico 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Dance Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
