Dancing with Class All-Stars
DwC All-Stars
2019 Holiday Giving Campaign: DONATE TODAY!
A major initiative of Dancing with Class Outreach is the All-Stars dance scholarship and performance team. Chicago Public School students entering grades 5-8 are selected for participation based on talent, merit and need. Most DwC All-Stars have been participants in the DwC Core Program, which serves 60+ CPS elementary schools each year. As a whole, Dancing with Class has introduced social dance to more than 50,000 Chicago youth since 2006. More than 200 students have gone on to participate as Dancing with Class All-Stars since 2012.
