Head Start Dance Program
Through a partnership with Denver's Great Kids Head Start, cmDance is providing jazz, swing, and movement classes to preschool children throughout Denver.
Currently, cmDance has instructors within 25 Head Start preschool classrooms in the Denver area, and it is our goal to have many more.
This program offers hundreds of preschool children exposure to vintage jazz music and dance, and by using dance as exercise, these classes assist students in learning important creative, memory, social, and motor skills.

High School Guest Instructor Program
With all the great event cmDance hosts, why not share the incredible international talent with the youth, who are our upcoming dancers and musicians within the community?
Three to four times a year the guest instructors and musicians visiting Denver for dance events, workshops, and concerts visit and teach at many local high schools while they are here.
These guest instructor visits inspire the students to reach new heights, give them unique educational opportunities, and are a great way for cmDance to give the great talent they bring to Denver, back to the community.
