Children at Prairie Dance not only enjoy learning and performing dances, they also participate in arts and crafts projects. These projects are mostly used as props during performances. |

Mission Statement: To promote a high standard of dance and movement through the education of children and the public. |

Vision Statement: To develop programs rooted in dance for under-served children, to nurture in them essential traits for life achievement. PDT has four dance-based programs offered free of charge in schools in Oklahoma City |

So many children do not have the opportunities PDT offers. It is our goal to grow our programs and our effectiveness in the Oklahoma City area. The National Dance Institute (NDI), created by world-renowned dancer Jacques d’Amboise, has developed a curriculum that has been successfully implemented in the public school system of New York City. NDI has impacted the lives of over 35,000 students in NYC. Prairie Dance is pursuing Associate status with NDI. Becoming an Associate of NDI (ANDI) will help PDT become bigger and better at what we already do! |
