WATCO dance education on students?
Audience:
  • Parents of children in grades k-12
  • parents of children with slight behavior problems
  • parents of children with excess energy
  • parents of children that need exercise.
  • Parents looking for a good activity for their children

What I know about my audience:
  • The types of parents I described above might not have considered dance as a solution to some of their children's problems.
  • Parents of boys might be harder to convinve.
  • Good parents want what is best for their children.
  • Most parents might know little or nothing about dance education and its bennefits.
  • Might have financial questions.
  • Might know little about different types of dance.

Pro-Dance Education:

  • good exercise
  • teaches discipline
  • teaches respect for self and others
  • builds confidence
  • is an emotional outlet
  • uses up excess energy
  • develops a talent
  • fun
  • helps memory
  • helps coordination

Anti-dance education:

  • can get expensive
  • child might not be interested
  • "boys shouldn't dance"

If the end result is to get more kids in dance programs, you could probably give some persuading tips or suggestions to the parents on how to persuade their kids, since they are not your immediate audience.
