Spring semester, here we come!

We officially have 47 classrooms from 19 schools participating in Dancing Classrooms this spring! That includes both 5 ^th and 8 ^th graders, Spanish and French dual language classes, new and returning schools, and countless opportunities for social and emotional growth among students.

We are so excited to welcome eight new Teaching Artists to the Heart of Dance team this semester. Learn more about their diverse backgrounds by clicking the button below! Even though we had some snow days along the way, our spring 2019 semester did officially start the week of Feb. 4. Teaching Artists new and "old" are excited to finally be connecting with students in the classroom, and making this the best semester yet for Heart of Dance.

Heart of Dance awarded Arts Learning grant

We are delighted to announce that on January 22, Heart of Dance received a generous Arts Learning grant of $10,000 from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC). This grant will help us fund semester-long residencies in our spring semester schools throughout the metropolitan area. Thank you to MRAC for this important partnership! Earlier this year they also honored us with a capital improvement grant funding new computers and other equipment for our new office. We are so grateful for their continued support.
