Community Outreach
Outreach
In the Schools
SDT is working with the local elementary schools to bring dance programming into the physical education curriculum. In 2023 SDT brought dance to 3rd graders in 4 schools in the area. In 2024 the program will expand to include 5th grade and will reach additional schools so all children are exposed to World Dance. SDT trains and pays the instructors through grant funding, so that this program is FREE to the schools.

In 2024, SDT aims to reach additional demographics to expose all populations to the benefits of dance, not only for physical health, but mental health and increasing longevity and health span. In addition, dance fosters athletic performance, aids in recovery, and increases core strength and coordination that crosses into other sporting disciplines. SDT aims to educate the greater community to all of these benefits, then make dance accessible. If you have an interest in partnering or learning more please contact us.
