Heart of Dance has partnered with more than 100 schools across Minnesota, and has served thousands of youth through the globally recognized Dancing Classrooms Social Emotional Learning curriculum.
Any school can bring Dancing Classrooms to their students! Each Dancing Classrooms program costs $4,000. The school only pays half of that cost ($2,000 per classroom) and Heart of Dance funds the remaining balance.
Don’t let cost deter you! We have developed fundraising resources for schools and our experienced development staff is happy to support your fundraising efforts. To date, our school partners have had great success in raising their portion. Most important, the curriculum is offered at no cost to participating students.
