Hi, Has anyone been successful in getting after school dance rehearsals to count as a PE credit? Dance class counts, cheer after school counts, athletics after school counts. My students put in way more rehearsal time than the athletes do, however no PE credit is given, and we all know that not all kids are cut out for sports. Administration isn't totally against it if it can be written and worded correctly. Any ideas? Any success in making this happen? ------------------------------------------- Connie Sandoz Theatre Director Henderson NV -------------------------------------------

Hi Connie! There was a similar thread on this a few months ago, see if this helps you or gives you an idea about people you could connect with:
