| Program Description | Students in Whistlestop’s programs become proficient with using elements of dance and at creating, performing, and responding to dances, as well as building 21st Century Skills. Much of our integrated arts work in school settings focuses on pre-K through 5th grade. Whistlestop has developed many programs infusing the arts with curriculum, such as Dancing Science, Dancing Math, Dancing Poetry, Dancing Words, Dancing Times and Cultures. Our Family Dance Nights build community as students and families dance together. Our accessible approach to dance education has been effective in both south and north-end Seattle Public Schools, and other areas (e.g. Tacoma, Highline, Hawaii, Alaska). |
