DANCING TO CONNECT
An award-winning initiative, Battery Dance engages participants in creativity and team-building through the art form of modern dance. Students of all abilities work under the guidance of Battery Dance’s teaching artists, who are also world-class performers, creating and performing choreography of their own devising. Dancing to Connect workshops open doors for teens as they transition into the leaders and engaged citizens of tomorrow.
