A recent article in the Sunday Seattle Times expressed it so well.

Today's youth need a refreshing change from today's style of dance. They no longer seem to practice basic manners. If we don't provide positive environments and alternatives, who will? Where will they learn the basic social graces? It's time to bring back the art of manners and respect in a gracious, articulate and beautiful way.

Strictly Ballroom offer several programs for the greater Seattle and it's surrounding areas and school districts.
Programs are 4-week, 6-week and 10-weeks long. Before and after-school programs are available, and depending on dates there are also times slots available during school hours.
The social graces and etiquette of being ladies and gentlemen are easily blended into ballroom dance. In this way they are introduced to a new way of communicating via dance in a respectful and positive way.

At the end of the 6 or 10 week program the school host a cinderella Ball where students get to show off their new skill and have the opportunity to dress up. Parents are encouraged to participate in both the dance lessons and ball. If desired a prearranged potluck provided by the parents may precede the ball. This then can become a real family affair. The studennts can dance with and for their parents, and friends, showing off their new skills while impressing their peers.
