Shoreview showcased on WKYC-Channel 3 On March 10th, three ladies and three gentlemen from Shoreview Elementary School made their way downtown to the WKYC television studio to make their television debut on “We the People,” and showcase their ballroom dancing routine! For the past four years, Shoreview El- ementary School has been partnering with Dancing Classrooms to build social awareness, confidence, and self-esteem in our students through the practice of social dance. Dancing Classrooms is a 10-week – 20 session social development program for fifth-grade children utilizing ballroom dancing as a vehicle to change the lives of not only the children who participate in the program but also the lives of the teachers and parents who support these children.

You can see our outstanding Euclid fifth-graders perform the Merengue, Fox Trot, Rumba, Tango, and Swing on Tuesday, April 4 from 6-8 PM for the annual Colors of the Rainbow Team Match (CORTM) Semi Finals in the Auditorium of Cuyahoga Community College’s Metropolitan Campus. The teams (schools) placing at the Gold level will then move on to the Grand Finals on Sunday, May 21, 2017 in the Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square. Partnerships with organizations like Dancing Classrooms provide Euclid Schools’ students with a significant social and emotional advantage.
