“Celebrate the Beat reminds me why I began and continue to work with kids. I now know for a fact that proficiency and state tests will never be better than self-belief, courage, and hard work.”
— Pat Almeida, FORMER Dupont Elementary School Principal
Programs
IN-SCHOOL Programming
Our in-school programs don’t just supplement the core school curriculum, they lead by example. Just ask any student or teacher involved. Children return to their core classes and homes more energized and focused, ready to tackle any challenge that dances their direction.
After-school programming
For our participating schools, CTB offers after-school instruction for dancers who want to challenge themselves further. These students attend additional 90-minute DREAM Team (Dancers Reaching Excellence, Artistry, and Mastery) classes after school where they receive more complex instruction.
VIRTUAL Courses
During the 2020-21 school year, Celebrate the Beat reached more children than ever before with our new virtual programming.
Due to popular demand, we are committed to continue offering virtual curriculum to be used in the classroom and at home!
Our virtual courses for Early Learners (PreK-2) and Elementary School Students (3rd-5th) include 10 weeks of recorded, theme-based dance, yoga, fitness, & music classes that energize, refocus, and motivate children.
SUMMER PROGRAMming
Vail Valley Foundation’s YouthPower365 Celebrate the Beat Eagle County hosts "POP HOP' during the first week of August. After a week of classes, children open for the Vail Dance Festival’s International Evenings of Dance at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheatre .
Impact
Celebrate the Beat believes in the power of arts to help children succeed. Our programs contribute to a healthier, higher-achieving student body.
We do more than teach children to dance, we empower children through the power of dance.
