Dance Through the Ages is dedicated to bringing movement and physical activity into a child’s school day, though dance. We believe that the link between a healthy student and physical activity is also responsible for a healthy emotional state. Over 12 years ago, Dance Through the Ages began its journey in preschools across Broward County, and has expanded to elementary & middles schools as well. Quickly seeing what an important outlet this was for a child during the school day, and the benefits it could offer to teaching staff as well, DTTA has honed and worked to create innovative programs and options to offer every school. These programs are fully customizable to meet the individual needs of every school, while bringing additional profit opportunities to schools as well. We look forward to dancing with you soon and creating a movement program that gets your school dancing!
Why add enrichments to your school’s activities?
Extracurricular activities are an essential part of a child’s development. In the past 12 years, there has been an influx of activity centers and studios marketing to children of all ages. Parents seek out these businesses to give their children stimulation once the school day has ended. Preschools, elementary schools, and middle schools have the opportunity to keep their students “in house” by offering these specials as enrichments during the day, or through aftercare/extended care services. Parents then are offered the security in knowing that their children are in a safe environment, surrounded by the people who care for them on a daily basis, and schools have the opportunity to earn additional income.

School Assemblies
Dance Through the Ages offers full assemblies for all schools. Students will receive a 45-60 minute assembly, concentrating on the benefits of dance when part of a healthy lifestyle. The science behind these benefits will be highlighted, while having all students (and teachers) up and moving.
Students will receive a full warm-up/stretch while learning about flexibility, muscle strengthening and toning. This will be followed by an interactive discussion about the different genres of dance and how they are related to one another. Students will then learn basic technique from several styles of dance, resulting in a routine they can perform together at the conclusion of the assembly, followed by a cool down. Question and answer session is included as well. We want to inspire students, help them to relax, have fun and feel motivated about movement!
*We’ll customize our Assemblies to the needs of your school and staff*
Teacher Workshops
As a former teacher in the school system, I have worked diligently with my staff of instructors to formulate a special workshop, geared entirely towards teachers to help promote health, relaxation and fun! There are few professions that require as much emotional and physical dedication as teaching, and often times it is the teacher who needs a little boost and renewed energy. Our workshops target this need. Whether offering a team building experience for your teachers, or incorporating our student targeted discussion on how to incorporate movement into the school day, we will deliver a motivational session that rejuvenates your staff.
Prior dance experience is never required. Just the desire to move and the willingness to laugh & have a good time while doing it.
