Colors of the Rainbow Team Match Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio

“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

COLORS OF THE RAINBOW

As a special activity, each school in the Dancing Classrooms program has the option to participate in the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match, as seen in the hit documentary film 'Mad Hot Ballroom'. At the close of each course, students audition to participate, with twelve students from each school advancing to the competition. The schools are identified by colors, with ladies wearing colored sashes and the gentlemen wearing colored cards pinned to their backs.

Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio 's 1st annual Colors of the Rainbow team Match was a tremendous success. A special thank you to the schools, students, their families, and the community for supporting this event. The 2nd annual Team Match that will take place in May 2010 at the Ohio Theatre where Pierre Dulaine will once again be in attendance. Please visit our "Events" page for all the information.
