“Dancing is about connections … to our friends, to our families, to our neighbors. It is one of the most expressive ways we celebrate and communicate our cultures and communities. With Dancing Classrooms, we are able to reach children in existing classroom settings and address fundamental issues of mutual respect and self-esteem – issues that social dance puts into practice. We hope to inspire children through dance to do well, to respect one another, to be proud. This program is about more than dance, it is about teaching children to take a bow.” - Pierre Dulaine & Yvonne Marceau

Teams earning GOLD in the Semi Final rounds will advance to the GRAND FINALS to Merengue, Foxtrot, Rumba, Tango, and Swing for this year's grand prize trophy! This event is FREE and open to the general public – all are welcome, and encouraged, to attend.

The Colors of the Rainbow Team Match, as seen in the hit documentary Mad Hot Ballroom, is a ballroom dance competition for children participating in the Dancing Classrooms program for the first time. As a special activity, each school in the Dancing Classrooms program has the option to participate in the Team Match. Area schools will send twelve dancers to represent their school. “We are thrilled to be able to provide this opportunity to the children and schools we work with while presenting the program to the community at large,” said Executive Director Jo Jo Graham. “The children have worked incredibly hard and will put their best foot forward in representation of their school community. We invite all to attend in support of their efforts as the children dance their hearts out.”

We're putting on a 24 Hour Dance Marathon, supporting Dancing Classrooms!

All proceeds benefit DANCING CLASSROOMS NORTHEAST OHIO!

HOW does a 24 HOUR DANCE MARATHON WORK?

1: Register - You'll need to let us know you're going to be there. $25 gets you in for as much (or as little) as you would like to be there.

2: Set a Fundraising Goal - As a fundraising incentive, we have some great prizes for you.

3: Raise Money - Ask your family, neighbors, friends, and coworkers to sponsor you by making a contribution. Your sponsors will be able to donate to your Marathon "cause" by cash, check, credit card (on our website and/or Facebook)!

4: Dance! - There will be all kinds of dancing along with food and prizes to keep you going...and going. We've broken the 24 Hours down into two hour blocks of time and assigned a designated "style" of dance to each of them. From our "Ballroom Bootcamp" and "Big Band Blast" and "Evolution of Dance" there's bound to be something for EVERYONE!
