The Importance Of Keeping The Performing Arts In School

The performing arts is responsible for giving birth to so many actors, dancers, singers, musicians and artist that we all know and love today. If it wasn’t for performing arts programs in the community we might not have had a Janelle Monae or Common.

Recently schools have sought to shut down the performing arts program because of funding but fail to realize how doing that can hurt students or put them in danger.

Roland Martin talks with former Basketball Wives Star Royce Reed with Fantashique Apprentice Dance Company about how important the performing arts are.

“And I really love the arts because I think it one keeps you healthy and it’s something that we are losing.
