Passport to Dance Programs

The Passport to Dance program is perfect for Schools, Homeschool Groups, Girl Scouts, or any group just wanting to learn something new while having fun! The dances can be taught by level of difficulty and students can be grouped by ages or grades. Our easy dances can be enjoyed by a group of mixed ages that is fun for everyone! 

Our program is primarily designed for grades K-6. However,

we are able to accommodate up through 8th grade.

Please contact us for details.

Workshops:

Choose any adventure for a one-time instructional class from 60-90 minutes. One class, or several classes in a day.

​

Residency Program:

Choose any adventure, for a one week to six-week residency. The residency will include a pre-arranged number of 45-60 minute instructional classes, ranging from daily classes to one or more classes per week. Each class will learn several dances from a certain country, region, or time period from our many adventures. 

A fun way to end the residency is to include a Performance (see below) at the end of the week for parents. Parents can even be invited onto the dance floor at the end to learn a family folk dance with their children! 

Schools or groups may also include the art department and have the students make props, sets, costumes, pieces, project boards, or decorations. Schools or groups may choose to bring ethnic foods for a multicultural pot-luck. A residency program can be tailored to fit the needs and interests of your school or group.

​

Folk Dance Festival and Performance: (Add-on to Residency)

Learn and rehearse several dances to be performed your event, such as International Week, Colonial Days, Spring or Fall Festival, etc. A series of at least four classes are needed to prepare for the festival performance.

​

Classes:

Any of the adventures can be held on a regular, on-going, class schedule during school hours, as part of your school or homeschool curriculum. Performance options available!

​

After-School and Summer Camp Programs:

Designed to fit the needs of your school or group, an after-school or summer camp program can either be provided by your organization or offered as an elective that would be covered by the parents. Multicultural Arts and Crafts, Singing, Stories, and Games can be added for complete summer camp programming.
