Margaret H'Doubler brought the magic of dance to the 20th century, yet the 21st century has yet to find a person to rekindle the same public desire for dance education. Consequently, the future of dance education in the next century is hard to predict. Based on an informal survey of fellow advisory board members of Dance and the Child International, the author briefly profiles the status of dance education in a wide variety of countries and compares their status to the situation in the United States. Common barriers exist in answering the questions, "Who should teach, what should they teach, and who should teach the teachers?" The author recommends a clear course of action for advancing the cause of dance education, and suggests that dance educators have the ability to change government policies on the arts if they advocate with a strong united voice.
