About Dancing Classrooms Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Mercy Health System (PMHS) introduced Dancing Classrooms Pittsburgh to 300 fifth-grade children in six Pittsburgh Public Schools in September 2009. Since then, more than 2,000 children in the Pittsburgh Public Schools and the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh have benefited from the renowned arts-in-education program. Dancing Classrooms Pittsburgh is as much about life as it is about dance. Students learn not only the fundamentals of ballrooms dance, but also learning readiness, team building, cooperation, self-confidence, problem solving, creative thinking, resiliency in the face of challenge, professional courtesy, appreciation for other cultures, and other valuable life lessons. Teachers and principals in participating Pittsburgh schools have noted decreases in behavior management problems, increases in parental involvement, and positive impacts on academics, school climate, and in the way the students treat one another.
