The award is the result of hard work and efforts of many club members, each doing what they can to promote Ballroom dance in the Burlington, Greensboro, High Point area of NC. We should all be proud. |

Youth Outreach:
|
|
Youth Outreach This year the Carolina Heartland chapter of USA Dance has "adopted" a school each semester to sponsor and encourage ballroom dance. Carolina Heartland provided a free professional dance lesson to drama students at Southern Guilford High School during the spring semester of 2009. Tim Saunders taught swing to 20 excited students at Southern Guilford. Several came to the monthly Carolina Heartland dance after the lesson and enjoyed dancing with members and trying out the new steps they had learned. Several of the students have continued to dance and stay involved with Carolina Heartland events, such as volunteering for the High Point Classic Dancesport Championships. Drama students at Southern Guilford used their swing dance steps in the play "Dancers." On November 12th, Tim Saunders taught a lesson to students at Western Guilford High School. |
