Prince Dance Company’s ENGAGE program brings performing arts to students who typically do not receive any other form of performing arts education in school.
In the Dancer in Residency part of the program, a professional dance teacher works with approximately 50-100 students per school to teach the fine arts benchmarks for the respective grade level. These residencies typically culminate in a performance for the school and parents.
The Interactive Dance Performance part of the program has Prince Dance Company producing an original work of performance art that has a specific education theme, such as this year’s astronomy theme, and performs it for all students in grade level groups at schools, allowing the students to watch, participate and learn about dance and the science behind the work.
