Who We Are

Our Method

CTB’s teaching methodology is about igniting curiosity, passion, teamwork, and the spirit of never giving up. This spirit is ingrained in everything we do from the minute students walk in the door. As an associate of the National Dance Institute, we engage children using techniques that are designed to motivate every child. These methods transcend barriers of language, physical challenges, and cognitive challenges making our classes fully inclusive.

Our Curriculum

Each lesson is tied to an enriching cross-curricular theme. This theme connects to a final performance for students to joyfully share what they’ve learned with the community. Past themes include systems of the body, outer space, visual art, and more! 

Our Organizational Values

Always Learning - We aspire to be on a continual path of learning for ourselves as individuals, for the team with whom we serve, the students we teach, and the organization we represent. 

Collaborative - We work in and through partnerships that strengthen our practice and advance our mission. We invest in the community, which leads to deep and durable relationships. 

Radically Inclusive - We are accessible to all children in partner schools by teaching every child in participating grades. We meet each child where they are and ensure everyone we work with has an opportunity to experience success. 

Infusing Joy - We create safe spaces that allow children to thrive using playfulness, creativity, and humor.  

Addressing the Whole Child - We believe that every child is a complex and amazing human being. Our classes address each of a child’s developmental needs including mental health, social-emotional development, identity development, cognitive development, and physical health.
