LaMar Baylor, an American performer in the Broadway musical, spends most of his time in
New York City．But since 2011, he has also spent weeks in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda．There, he
teaches dance to boys who live on the street．His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca Davis
Dance Company．The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave
in a classroom environment．
Rebecca Davis and LaMar Baylor teach ballet to street children in Kigali, Rwanda．The
children have lost all of their families．Some have been in prison; others have sold their bodies for
sex．Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they've
never had before．
Rebecca Davis is the founder and director of the dance company．She got the idea for the
project after visiting Rwanda in 2008．There she met a large number of street children who were
dancing, and she thought that dance could be used to get them off the street and into a safe
place．She believes that learning to dance is a step toward education．She says children can take
classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow
directions．
Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding
School．About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid．

life．He is from Camden, New Jersey．Camden has sometimes been called America's poorest and
most dangerous city．He now thanks dancing for saving his life．

On countless mornings over the past year, I stood with my son, James, in our driveway, watching our
neighbor hurry off to kindergarten．My wife and I wanted to give James the best education, but that
meant we'd have to change our jobs and spend less time with our kid．I asked myself,
trade-off be worth it?．Where
our kids go to school might matter less than most American parents think．
Social scientists have long tried to determine why some children grow up to be successful．In a 2001
study, Greg Duncan, a professor of education at the University of California, measured the influence
that the people in a child's life have on how well the child does in school．Duncan and his team
found almost no relationship between how students did on the test and whom they sat beside in class,
whom they hung out with after school and who lived in their block．The only meaningful link they
found was between siblings （兄弟姐妹） and twins in particular．
For a long time, scholars thought that a family's income heavily affected how well kids did
in life．But that might not be the case．When Susan Mayer at the University of Chicago looked at the
relationship between family income and lifetime achievement, she ran a series of experiments to
