Move2Learn

We reinforce curricular goals—like gravity, electromagnetic waves, literacy, history, and more— through dance.

Our Move2Learn Cultural Series (M2L) is a bilingual program that focuses on promoting cultural inclusivity by celebrating the shared ancestry and traditions of our diverse community. Students learn history, dances, and songs across ten 45-60 minute classes that end in a culminating student body performance open to parents, families, and community.

Anti-Bullying Ballet

Since 2006

30,000 Colorado students have seen our anti-bullying programs

Our signature Anti-Bullying Ballet Program is a unique opportunity for educators to showcase solution oriented content with deeper focus on SEL components. The program includes English and Spanish narration and pre-materials, and features an original presentation tour with performance, lecture, and demonstration that deliver messages of inclusivity, compassion, tolerance. New topics include immigration, ESL, socioeconomic issues and bias, and gender identity.

The Crayon Box

Choreography by Michael Hinton

This anti-bullying ballet takes kids on an imaginative journey through all the colors of the crayon box, where each color represents a different emotion. Red may be mad and blue always sad, but kids will learn how all the colors can help each other!

After-School Ballet

We offer world-class ballet training to local elementary schools

Our free onsite after-school and summer dance classes provide dedicated dance exposure to students in underserved populations who may not have access to traditional studios. Weekly classes introduce culturally inclusive styles with a focus in classical ballet technique and terminology.

Production, Technical & Design Internship at Pinnacle Charter School

Work Experience through Education

Through our partnership with Pinnacle Charter School, we facilitate the Production, Technical, & Design Internship for Pinnacle High School students. During the program, students gain real-world theater experience working on professional and student productions under the supervision of the Production Manager.

Participation in CCD’s internship program is an honor and also a commitment. Each year, we invite 10 students to participate in the year long program. This program is considered to be a pre-professional path to working in the technical theater industry.

We empower people with better lives through dance

We understand the importance of high-quality arts education.
