Bringing transformative dance experiences to K-12 students and educators across the state of North Carolina is an essential aspect of Black Box Dance Theatre’s mission. We specialize in arts-integration, seeking to combine cultural topics, in-school studies, and personal development with the power of dance. You may be surprised at how much movement can teach us about topics like math, physics, and history!
Through workshops, residencies, and performances, our professional teaching artists and company members encourage students and teachers to embody their own stories through movement and meaningful connection. Over the past 10+ years of partnership with schools, we have found that dance brings communities together, increases student confidence, and opens up bright futures in the arts to those who had never thought it an option.
Workshops are single day classes filled with movement, connection, and arts-integration learning. Help your students understand topics like physics, math, or United States history with the power of dance. Give your teachers new instruction methods to bring back to their classroom. Witness how one just day of dance can seriously change lives.
Residences are multi-day workshops that can last up to a week. More time allows us to create more involved work with your students, delving deeper into educational topics, creative movement, and personal reflection. Pair this with a performance and your students can be featured in a professional dance show!
Bring professional and energetic modern dance performance to your school. Our interactive and engaging shows are a delight to both teachers and students- you might even have a chance to dance, yourself! Provide us with a clean, safe, and open space to dance and we can perform up to three shows for you per day!
