What: Health & Fitness After School Ballroom Dance Program for Elementary School Students (grades 1st through 5th)
When: Starting in 2009 (dates TBA)
Where: Elementary schools throughout the Dallas-Ft. Worth TX area (others TBA)
As a TV producer, educator and a ballroom dancer that helped train over 6,000 DFW elementary kids in the last 4 years...I am one of a team that has decided to attack the lack of exercise problem through the beauty and fun of Ballroom Dance.
Additionally, we provide printed information on TOTAL HEALTH & FITNESS, and have included lessons on nutrition, dangers of tobacco and other drugs, etc.
We've taken a successful state wide program for Social Workers & RN's with a story of a Dolphin called Cap10. We've rewritten it for kids and added cartoons for visual aids.
One suggestion for this after school program is to charge $2 a week for 10 weeks, for both dance lessons and printed materials. Additional adult dances can be added for $10 each. Other ideas and suggestions are welcome.

RIP COLORING CONTEST
Golden Meadow Elementary School Tango Dance students that have colored their RIP Cartoons & turned them in can have their friends & family email their votes.
Only 2 votes per email address please. As student names aren't on the cartoons just use numbers.
Like "Dancing with the Stars"...50% of the vote will be the emails & the other 50% of the count will be by judges that know art. Votes can come in all summer until school starts.
Hope to see you in the fall.
