Head Start

Freeman with Clayton Students

Through a partnership with Denver’s Great Kids Head Start, cmDance is providing jazz, swing, and movement classes to preschool children throughout Denver.

In the 2011-2012 school year, cmDance taught over 260 preschool dance and movement classes in 13 schools across 4 districts.

cmDance provides the opportunity for students to excel in their physical and creative development through a fun and energetic dance program, while at the same time exposing them to Vintage Jazz music and movement, as well as Latin Jazz music and movement: the roots of many of the United States’ modern dance styles.  We allow the children a chance to express themselves through the language of dance, increasing their creativity, sequencing, and memory, and teaching them to appreciate music and movement as something that can be a potential part of their futures.

The most important objectives of our program are as follows:

  1. Promote age appropriate physical health, movement, and exercise.
  2. Expand adolescent motor skills, balance, coordination, control, imagination and creativity, memory and sequencing, and other abilities.
  3. Expose students to Vintage Jazz music and dancing, as well as Latin music and dancing, and have as much fun as possible with potentially their first experience with it.
  4. Give students the chance to perform for their peers and/or parents while developing confidence, showmanship, and teamwork.

cmDance works hard during year to be able to provide this kind of outreach programming to underprivileged youth.  You can show us your support by making a tax deductible donation.
