The Banneker Beat Elementary Dance Troupe's mission is to enrich students' lives through the power of movement, culture, and community." We utilize dance as a vibrant lens to deepen our students' understanding of history and diverse cultural and traditions. As a troupe, we hold a 'student-first, dancer-second' philosophy, cultivating exemplary scholars who model leadership, perseverance, and  dedication to themselves, their families and community. Through artistic expression and community service, the Banneker Beat instills the vital values needed to shape compassionate, socially aware global citizens who deeply respect and celebrate all cultures across the world."
