 The
Bolingbrook Park District Power Dance Project is a truly unique
program that was started in 2001.
The goals of the Power Dance Project are:
1. to provide a creative, convenient, affordable, non-threatening,
non-competitive, and positive outlet for Bolingbrook youth.
2. to teach children Hip Hop.
3. to teach character education through the nationally known
Character Counts program.
4. to create leaders in the schools and communities.
5. to provide performance opportunities in the community.
6. to provide a proactive alternative to negative outcomes that
is popular and easy to get involved in.
The Power Dance Project is an outreach Hip Hop dance program
that is held after school in six Bolingbrook schools. Children
that are involved perform at a variety of school functions throughout
the year.
Each class meeting consists of Hip Hop instruction and a lesson
in Character Counts. Character Counts is the nation's most widely
used character development framework. It is used in schools,
youth sports, and civic organizations. It is based on shared
beliefs and consensus values called the "Six Pillars of Character."
The Six Pillars of Character are:
1. Trustworthiness
2. Respect
3. Responsibility
4. Fairness
5. Caring
6. Citizenship
The Power Dance Project uses the dance experience as a means
of teaching skills, including teamwork, commitment, striving
for excellence, and improvement by involvement.
