Dance Out Loud

Our mission is to develop self-esteem, non-violent communication strategies and body confidence through the practice of gymnastic, visual, performance and martial arts.

We do this with the intention that creatively nurtured and expressive human beings create sustainable, just and loving ways of living and being in the local and global communities.

What does Dance Out Loud offer?
We offer the highest quality classes and teachers and we bring them to your site, a comfortable place that the children and youth are already familiar with.

Owner, director and lead instructor Nanci Armstrong-Temple is a cultural anthropology major and education specialist with over 20 years teaching music, movement and theater to children and youth.

With a combination of energetic, multicultural music and innovative ways of teaching, students will never know that all that fun is actually some of their most important work. Children combine loco-motor (for example jumping, running, and skipping) and non loco-motor (e.g. bending, stretching, and twisting) activities, storytelling, puppetry and more to promote the development of crucial childhood tasks, including perceptual-motor efficiency.

We teach these skills within a framework of nonviolence and conflict resolution, always remembering that every human being-no matter their age-deserves to have their persons and ideas respected.
