Jonie Rodman Dance Center

Dancing Classrooms Greater Richmond is a non-profit organization that aims to cultivate essential life skills in children through the art of social dance. Utilizing ballroom dancing as a vehicle, their curriculum-based in-school program teaches social awareness and builds self-esteem in 5th and 8th grade students, fostering respect, teamwork, and better social relationships. Founded in 2012 as a chapter of the original Dancing Classrooms program in New York City, Dancing Classrooms Greater Richmond uses the vocabulary of ballroom dance to break down social barriers, promote honor and respect, improve self-confidence, and encourage communication and cooperation among children. Their mission is to create schools and communities where every child is connected, respected, and provided a safe environment to thrive.Generated from the website
