DREAM
DREAM logo

DREAM is a 32-week, four-hour a week program that engages students through dance to become better citizens and leaders. With over 150 hours of instruction per student/per year this intensive program provides students with a supportive environment.

Through three field trip rehearsals, a performance at the Washington Wizards half-time show, a self-produced community performance at THEARC, and special “community shows,” students develop social and civic competencies, while also building close and meaningful relationships with their peers and instructors.

During the 2011-2012 school year the DREAM program will be offered to over 150 students in grades third to eighth at six DC public schools in Wards 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8, as well as at the KIPP DC: Will Academy in Ward 2.
