In this episode I interview Alicia Reitz who is a High School teacher about the importance of arts in school. We dive into what are the benefits and skills students learn from the arts and how dance enriches learning and emotional. We talk about how she introduced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into the school and what the feedback from students and parents has been about learning a martial art. We also get into what its like for a female to be in a male dominant sport and how we face some unique challenges.
