The Kids Ballroom
Dancing Program of Massachusetts
A many year running initiative that brings ballroom dance to schoolchildren
throughout Massachusetts as part of each school’s academic curriculum. The
arts-in-residence program, currently active in 13 Massachusetts
schools, reaches approximately 800 students who learn basics
in the ballroom dances.
The program integrates the arts, humanities, sciences,
and physical education disciplines.
The Kids Ballroom
Dance Program is a non-profit organization, sponsored by grants, funding and
support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Healthy Living Cambridge Kids,
MASSabda/USA Dance Chapter 3002 and the individual school districts.
In 2007,
The Kids Ballroom Dance Program, as part of a coalition with the Healthy
Children Task Force, received the prestigious Innovation in Prevention Award
from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The program is
offered in elementary and secondary schools and is looking to incorporate into
inner city of the Boston Metropolitan area.
