The Dance Effect Program

The Dance Effect has been highly successful in connecting multiple teachers within a school division to dance education. The benefit of this option is that it creates a community of understanding that can be shared within multiple schools in the division.

"I loved that there was actual active participation that required us to get up and learn the steps- making the experience more interactive and giving us real ideas that we could take away and apply to our own classes."

Teacher, Good Spirit School Division

"This Dance PD has given me the skills and confidence to be able to not only learn the basic steps and history of dance, but to also develop lesson and unit plans that can be adjusted to different students learning; whether that be enriching them or helping to introduce them to dance."
