“I love Heart of Dance. I learned a lot and I respect others more now that I’ve danced with them.” - Zoe, 5 th grade

Tango | Grade 5 2 nd Session Video by Rory Thomas Productions

Another Colors of the Rainbow Team Match in the books, and we couldn't be more grateful. Hundreds came out to cheer on their favorite 5 th and 8 th grade teams from 18 Twin Cities and Rochester schools. From teamwork in the Tango above, to respect in the Rumba, it's easy to see these students learned so much more than dance steps over the past 10 weeks! Thank you to everyone involved in the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match — school partners, donors, volunteers, families, and everyone in between! Without all of you, students like Zoe wouldn't have had this opportunity to get to know and respect each and every one of her classmates.

Stay tuned for more photos and videos from the Spring 2019 Colors of the Rainbow Team Match sponsored by JCI Saint Paul — coming soon!
