Dance eXchange

Dance eXchange is an in-school program for 3rd and 4th grade students offered at only six elementary schools in the Philadelphia School District. Through the program, students gain a basic dance vocabulary, a deeper understanding of dance as a performing art form to which many of them have not been previously exposed, and an opportunity to excel at something altogether new, in the presence of their peers. Dance eXchange emphasizes dance as a means to promote self-confidence, acquire valuable life skills, and establish personal standards for excellence for our MANA scholars. MANAS completely funds this program at MANA.
