DIVERSITY & EQUITY

At Dancing Classrooms, we strive to create learning environments in which all children, regardless of racial or gender identity, social or class status, ethnic background or country of origin, range of emotional or physical abilities, or any other classification, will cultivate essential life skills and experience the defiant joy of social dance in all its forms.  For more information on our IDEA – Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility, visit our IDEA page.
