Dance Crazy is a group ofover 40 local volunteer ballroom dancers and 5 paid professional ballroom dance instructors that have organized after being inspired by the achievements of the children in the NY City ballroom dance program called ‘Dancing Classrooms’.  That program comes to life in the  documentary called ‘Mad Hot Ballroom’.  Dance Crazy has designed a ballroom dance program that is similar to Dancing Classrooms, but the Dance Crazy program has been modified in order to fit with the resources available in the Capital District area of upstate NY.

640 Children taught so far.....and Counting!!

We are currently in our third year of operation.  Thanks to the tremendous interest in and support for this program for children, this years 07-08 Dance Crazy program is in 5 NEW schools,  5 Alumni Schools, and has over 370 fifth and sixth grade students learning our ballroom dance Syllabus.
