The Washington Ballet’s DanceDC is an innovative interdisciplinary program for first, second, and third graders that integrates ballet and creative movement with academic curriculums in District public schools, primarily in Southeast Washington. Now reaching almost 700 students in six schools, DanceDC has introduced nearly 10,000 students to dance. The Washington Ballet also offers classical pre-ballet technique scholarships to DanceDC students who wish to continue their studies. This year, the company’s scholarship program, Excel!, is providing 50 full scholarships to talented young boys and girls to attend TWB@THEARC.
