Design Dance brings traditional dance styles of your choice to your school, leveraging the creative art of dance to promote self-awareness, empathy, creative confidence and a sense of belonging.

In each program, students will study the history, musicality, technique and choreography of the dance form all while practicing the core elements of dance: body, action, space, time and energy.

Each program will culminate in final presentation where students showcase their learnings for peers and family members.
