LINES Community Programs
School ResidenciesCustomized in and after-school dance residencies for PreK through 8th grade classrooms provide weekly dance instruction taught by our professional teaching artists. Focusing on the power of discovery, collaboration, and truth, LINES Community Programs partnerships provide fully funded in and after-school dance education for public schools and in local neighborhoods where arts programming is scarce. Residencies occur over 5–12 weeks.

“HeART with LINES has provided wonderful experiences for my fourth graders…Their instructors have been engaging and adept at incorporating the curricular concepts that we study. The program gives students a framework for self-expression and creativity. It also challenges them to be active and to learn to be a cooperative team player. I especially appreciate that both teachers and students can use the skills and strategies learned through HeART with LINES to help in dealing with the stresses of everyday life.”
