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.
