DANCE NATION
Dear Principal and Staff,
Do you want a different way to enhance the mental health
and resilience of your students?
If so, we want to partner with you to make this happen through our Dance Nation schools’ program.
We know that our Resilience through Movement™ program delivers for our students in the following ways:
By partnering together, we will work towards empowering students to find their resilience, foster healthy
habits to improve overall well-being.
Dance Nation is a school dance program uniquely designed to promote students’ mental health, well-being, belonging, and resilience through movement™. Each year hundreds of students from across the ACT region are engaged in weekly themed dance workshops that conclude in a celebration of who they are in a community showcase spectacular.
No previous experience in dance is required to participate
Your school will be provided with additional well being resources, including print material, and creating online content specifically targeted to support student well being during this program.
Our Kulture Break team will coordinate bus transportation and costs from your school to the venue for rehearsals on the day of the Performance Spectacular between 9 am-2 pm.
“I love dance nation because I met new people, and I got to perform on the stage. I learned to never be disappointed with any of the dance moves that I do, that every movement is perfect when we do it. At first I was embarrassed, dancing in front of people, but by the end it was really exciting to get my dance moves up and show everybody. I loved the feeling of the audience clapping for all the hard work we did!”
“I enjoyed going to all the practices with our dance coach, and learning all the moves for our dance. Rachel’s instructions were really informative and she made it easy to learn even the trickiest dance moves. When we performed at the theatre, the feeling was incredible! I’ll definitely be back next year!”
“As a school, we have continued to be blown away by the Dance Nation program, and just how empowering it is for students. It is so amazing to see how dance has the power to bring different groups of children together, and provide opportunities for students to express themselves. The dance nation program is incredibly inclusive, providing students with all kinds of abilities to participate, and to have fun with children they may not usually socialise with. Brilliant for self confidence, brilliant for self- esteem, and, it’s just fun!”
