Human Resilience in the Age of AI

More than movement…

Community, culture, humanity, health, and healing.

  • Academic Achievement

    It improves cognitive flexibility, memory, focus, adaptability, responsiveness, and curiosity, all of which are necessary for today’s new learning needs.

  • Social Emotional Learning

    Dance improves students’ behavioral health and social competence, with participants exhibiting less depression, withdrawal, anxiety, and aggression.

    Dance fosters empathy, non-verbal communication, cooperation, and self-confidence.

  • Tech Free-Focus & AI Anxiety Relief

    Dance provides a healthy, screen-free alternative that enhances focus, reduces AI Distress, anxiety, stress, and promotes mindfulness through relational social movement.

    5-minute dance breaks have been shown to improve executive functions and math performance in students.

  • Community Engagement

    Latin dance programs unite students, families, and staff through shared experiences and performances that strengthen school culture and foster mutual respect across generations.

    Community engagement improves school climate and student outcomes.
