Dance With Me creates and diffuses innovative educational programs based on art aiming at promoting dialogue, developing the creative abilities inherent in each and every individual and encouraging the sense of belonging and desire to contribute to the community.
Today we promote the program Dancing Communities - a fun and accessible approach based on ballroom dancing - in health institutions, businesses and community centers as a means of social cohesion.
In psychosocial institutions and community centers, Dancing Communities encourages self-confidence, strengthens social skills and stimulates the sense of belonging to the community.
In business, Dancing Communities promotes dialogue and improves communication within teams and between hierarchies. It encourages employee motivation and prevents stress-related problems at work.
