Intensive In School Residencies

For 3 weeks during school hours Teaching Artists serve an entire grade or school by creating a music and dance extravaganza inspired by that year’s educational theme. Our teachers are professional dancers, choreographers, musicians and composers who believe that the arts should be an integral part of every child's education. CTB works closely with the schools to design lesson plans for each learning level related to their curriculum and ideology.
