Ballroom Dancing at Heathcote Elementary

The fifth graders at Heathcote participated in Dancing Classrooms, a project of the American Ballroom Theater Company, Inc. Over a 10-week period, the students learned six social dances (foxtrot, merengue, rumba, tango, swing and waltz.) The program also aims to build social awareness, confidence and self-esteem. The ballroom dancing program was funded by the Heathcote PTA. – Text courtesy of Fifth Grade Teacher Lisa Onofri and picture from Jon Thaler. See more photos at JonThaler.com .
