Overview

Mission

A social development program that utilizes the arts to teach character, team work, responsibility, goal setting, and physical fitness to also reinforce positive relationships, build self-esteem, confidence, and social awareness through the practice of social dance.

What it reported doing in 2020

Dancing classrooms - a ballroom dance program, during the school day for 5th and 6th grade students as well as 9th-12th grade special education students. Dancing classrooms introduces children to the art form of ballroom dance, which they can enjoy throughout their life. Dancing classrooms is also a specific method of teaching dance that is designed to foster teamwork, mutual respect and discipline among diverse classmates. Through the mastery and performance of six basic ballroom dances, students develop a greater sense of confidence, civility, tolerance, and patience within themselves and for each other. Students improve their fitness and coordination as they focus their physical energy on the rhythmic movement to music. Finally, the students broaden their knowledge of the artistic, cultural, historic, and geographic elements of the six dances. Due to COVID last year's programs were cancelled.
