SMART Initiative: Social. Movement. Art.
We've been teaching dance in schools & classrooms for more than 20 years!
Because we believe that teaching dance creates social, movement, and artistic skills that can be utilized for life, the SMART Initiative is moving to train more teachers and put our dance and movement programs into more classrooms.
In the next few months we are working to create videos to go along with our classroom syllabus. If you know a young person who would like to dance - for free - send them our way!
