Ballroom Basix is a #nonprofit #danceprogram that works with NYC schools and gives kids #etiquette instruction. Kids at the #ICAHNCharterSchool have been learning #manners, how to shake hands, "please and thank you," plus #respect for oneself and others. There was a big dance party Wednesday to show off the 3rd and 4th graders' skills. The kids' self-confidence soared and they had a great time. They have learned #tango, #merengue, #salsa and other #dances. Ballroom Basix is run by #SidneyGrant, who goes by Dr. Dance. He started the program in one school in #Harlem 11 years ago and since then has expanded to 80 schools. Students learn to interact, make eye contact, introduce themselves and the more they use their manners outside the classroom, the more they gain self-confidence.
