Dr. Dance speaks at NYSDEA Conference!
Mr. Grant plans to address identity through dance within the classroom by sharing his BBX syllabus and methodology, with a script devoid of gender-based language, and an experience which enables ALL participants to rotate respectfully!

BALLROOM BASIX
Professional Development!
BALLROOM BASIX is thrilled to connect co-workers in the same way we engage schoolchildren...with poise, positivity and politeness! It's really great to see educators, & administrators experience the exact same respectful, rotational instruction that all of our schoolchildren experience during our program!

Summer 2021
The MaCORONArena
Founder & Artistic Director Sidney Grant was inspired by the pandemic to create a line dance parody to inform and inspire children and families as a way to help offset the isolation and anxiety of the COVID-19 crisis.
This viral dance was the subject of many social-distanced FLASH BASHES around NYC, & even in Ohio & St. Louis!
