Dancing Feet Tired, Hearts Full

At the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match on Dec. 8, a St. Paul principal watched in awe as his 5
th graders performed in elegant dance frame, looked into the eyes of their partners, and even danced with partners they had never met. He exclaimed:
"This is a life-changing experience for these students. Thank you for making this happen!"

This was the 7th Colors of the Rainbow Team Match for Heart of Dance, and definitely one to remember! Last Saturday, 19 Teams from Twin Cities, Rochester, and Duluth schools came together to showcase Respect, Elegance, and Teamwork as they danced the Merengue, Tango, Foxtrot, Waltz, Swing, Polka, and Rumba. Every dancer received a medal and every school a trophy. Congratulations to all!

Videographer Rory Thomas and Photographer Drew Anderson captured the elegance of the day. In these videos, you'll enjoy the energetic Merengue, and see Teamwork and Respect showcased in the Polka, as students from all different schools danced with partners they had never met before!
Stay tuned for more photos and videos from the three Team Matches, coming soon!
