Our Mission
To teach English through dance to non-native speakers in predominantly lower socioeconomic communities.
Our Story
In Dance Another World, we know that a dance is a story. We read and write our own stories and portray them through creative movement while learning English. Since 2014, our program has helped to provide a safe environment for children to learn English and build confidence. To date, Dance Another World has partnered with schools and community centers to serve more than 3200 students ranging in ages from 3 to 16.
Dance Another World is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Immersive
Through Immersion and Content Based Instruction (CBI), we teach English through dance. The ITESL Journal defines CBI as “a teaching method that emphasizes learning about something rather than learning about language” and “an effective method of combining language and content learning.”
Healthy
According to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, “Only one in three children are physically active every day”.
Fun
In Dance Another World, we know that a dance is a story. We read and write our own stories and then portray them through dance. In addition to English and dance, students learn confidence in their ability to express themselves, and learn respect for their minds, bodies and souls.
Flexible
Our program can be offered as a before or after school program, a daytime elective, workshops, and even a virtual curriculum!
