After-school Programming
DREAM Team
During Celebrate the Beat's residency at each participating school, we offer DREAM Team (Dancers Reaching Excellence, Artistry, and Mastery), an after-school program for students who want to further their dance experience. DREAM Team members dive deeper into the curriculum, learn advanced choreography, and connect with others who share their passion. They perform additional choreography during the school’s culminating performance.
Celebration Team/All-Stars
Being part of these teams is both an honor and a privilege. CTB students who are invited to join have demonstrated exceptional growth by mastering choreography, collaborating effectively, expressing themselves artistically, and performing in diverse settings. These dancers have also shown perseverance, positivity, commitment, teamwork, energy, enthusiasm, and a true passion for dance. This dedicated and motivated group of students, coming from various schools, is eager to take on new challenges and push themselves further.
The program meets once a week after school throughout the year, with additional summer opportunities. We offer a wide range of classes, allowing dancers to explore different styles, as well as fitness, yoga, and CTB-themed curriculum. Students also enhance their dance experience through creation, improvisation, and collaboration with their peers. Past teams have performed at prestigious venues such as the Denver Botanic Gardens, Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver Art Museum, The Broadmoor, Colorado State University, and The Vail Dance Festival, among others.
These teams provide a unique opportunity for continued growth for CTB students who are passionate about dance and deeply connected to the CTB community.
CTB teaching artists build lasting relationships with students, connecting on both an emotional and instructional level. Some high school students become so ingrained in the CTB community that they return as volunteers, mentoring younger dancers and continuing the cycle of growth and support.
