| KIPP Charlotte Welcomes North Carolina Dance Theatre |
KIPP Charlotte is benefiting from a successful ArtsTeach Curriculum Connections grant application and partnering with North Carolina Dance Theatre to bring their stellar six-week residency program to the school.
NC Dance instructors will work with KIPP Charlotte students and faculty to enhance the KIPP curriculum by using dance to reinforce a number of academic concepts.
The residency culminates in a student performance and a visit to the Belk Theatre to watch a performance of The Nutcracker. The North Carolina Dance Theatre's mission is to provide artistically excellent programming to diverse audiences in its home city of Charlotte, the Southeast region, and to the varied communities it serves while on tour across the nation. NC Dance Theatre has received critical recognition nationally for excellence in programming, education and outreach, and dance training.
KIPP Charlotte is THRILLED to be partnering with such a great organization.
