In a Nutshell

Donations sponsor five students in an in-school social dancing program that helps them build confidence and break down social barriers

The Fine Print

The Issue: Lack of Social-Skills Lessons for Schoolchildren

While many past generations took etiquette classes, most of today's students no longer receive that kind of formal training in civil discourse. Dancing classes offer a unique opportunity to hone social skills because they emphasize rules based on respect and cultivate mutual understanding between partners.

The Campaign: Sponsoring Youth in Social Dancing Program

If this Grassroots campaign raises $500, then Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio can sponsor five children in a 10-week social dancing program. Each additional $100 raised will fund participation in the program for another youth. Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio uses ballroom dancing as a vehicle for improving students' social development, self-esteem, teamwork, and communication skills. Fifth-and eighth-grade children meet during the school day twice a week for 10 weeks to learn several contemporary dance styles.

Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio

Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio (DCNEO), which builds confidence, respect, and self-esteem through the practice of social dance, aims to help youth break down social barriers and learn to communicate with a new set of behavioral skills. Teaching artists lead classes of fifth- and eighth-grade students through 10 weeks of ballroom-dancing lessons that are held twice a week during the normal school day. To make lessons accessible and ease children into a new endeavor, they incorporate pictures and stories and connect dance terms to food, transforming feet into chopsticks and dance frame into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In addition to dance, DCNEO also enriches children’s education with opportunities to create visual artwork, poetry, and original songs. At the end of the course, students showcase their dancing skills and other projects completed during the program at a performance for friends and family.

The Groupon Guide to: Treason

There are traitors everywhere trying to undermine the traditions, symbols, and really big statues that make countries great. Here are some treasonous acts that members of your community could be committing right now:

  • Blowing on your country’s national bird

  • Consuming your country’s national bagel without the accompanying delicious national cream cheese

  • Writing sexy, wizard-themed fan fiction about your country’s highest elected official

  • Keeping all of your patriotic badges of honor in a little coffin

  • Not reciting the national honor pledge in full, which goes: “On this day, this goofy day / I’ll represent my country in a silly way / I’ll wear my best sandals and show off my toe / I’ll boogie in the ways only my countrymen know”

  • Burping up the national flag as a magic trick

What’s so wrong with writing sexy fan fiction about the president?
