Today was the culminating event for one of the schools I teach at as a Dancing Classrooms teaching artist. Local 5th graders from Highland Park Elementary did a fabulous job with their sportsmanship, teamwork and new found respect for one another as they swayed, box-stepped and swung to the different rhythms of Ballroom dancing. In partnership with CarpeDance, we are now offering this time-tested quality program to Seattle schools.
