A compassionate and gifted teaching artist joins your classroom twice a week. She – or he – believes in you and who you can be, sets high expectations and then lifts you to a secure and joyful place you may have never known. From the very first lesson, you and your classmates are treated respectfully as “ladies” and “gentlemen,” and quickly, you’ll feel that you are. Thanks to the engaging approach of your teaching artist who encourages you with humor, empathy and imaginative storytelling, you and your classmates will soon be mastering several dances, step by step…and loving it! And when you are asked, “May I have this dance, please?,” your confident answer will be, “Yes…with pleasure!”
