Overview
Transforming classrooms through the performing arts

Dance is not just an extracurricular. It is a core part of a child's holistic development. DanceED is a structured, syllabus-based curriculum designed to nurture confidence, creativity, coordination and character in students from Nursery to Class 12.

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, it introduces dance as a meaningful part of education, where students not only move, but express, grow and thrive.

The program was built by Ayush Lokre and The FlexiiFeet team from more than a decade of teaching children and performing on major stages, and is used today by 30+ partner schools across India and the USA.

Why dance in school
Learning that goes beyond the steps

A dance class asks children to listen closely, remember sequences, coordinate their bodies and work in step with others. Over a year, those small habits add up to better focus, fitness and teamwork.

Performing adds something classrooms rarely offer: the experience of preparing for an audience and standing in front of it. Many students discover a confidence on stage that carries over into the rest of school life.
