Our performance-based programs expose large groups of students to the different styles of ballroom, Latin, and swing.  Each assembly weaves live dance performances with student interaction and spoken narrative components. Assemblies can be performed in either an auditorium or gymnasium setting and typically last 40 minutes.

Current Assembly Offerings

BALLROOM BLITZ - This program emphasizes the etiquette of dance and introduces students to basic partner dance concepts such as lead and follow, dance frame, open and closed position, etc.  It includes live demonstrations of classic ballroom and Latin dances as well as contemporary American partner dance.

SWING TIME - In this interactive program on American jazz dance and music history, high-flying, athletic performances get students hooked, and then fascinating stories and learning experiences unfold.  We hit a home run with students by showing the relationship between current pop culture trends and America's rich music, dance, and cultural history.  This exhilarating program has toured in more than 100 Chicagoland schools over the last decade.

SPECIALIZED SHOWS - Our artists can also create customized performances geared toward special themes such as an all-Latin program for Hispanic Heritage Month, a 1920s Charleston show for a Great Gatsby event, Dances of the Harlem Renaissance for African-American History Month, and more.
