“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

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.”
