Each year, Dance Education Laboratory (@danceedlab) dance mentors from Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Public Charter School (@pvpacharter) in South Hadley, MA put into practice what they’ve learned by leading students at Leeds Elementary School in Northampton, in a 3-week dance intensive. ⁠ ⁠ The program’s unique combination of community service, mentoring, collaborative teaching, and high-level training is nothing short of transformational, and it's all beautifully captured in the newest documentary film, "PS DANCE!
