Dancing Queens

Dancing Queens are a critical part of the Dancing with the Students program. These volunteers become partners with the students. When a student’s partner is absent and/or there may be more boys or girls in a class, a Dancing Queen becomes his/her partner for the class.

Some weeks, they may dance the “lady’s” steps… some weeks, they may dance the “gentleman’s” steps… but every week, our Dancing Queens are guaranteed to have SO much fun!!

Are you thinking, “What if I do not know how to do the waltz, tango, merengue or swing?”

Not a problem! Our dance instructors provide free instruction and training to our Dancing Queens and Dancing Kings, too!

“I love to dance…that exercise is medicine. It’s better than most pills.”

—Dr. Regina Benjamin, U.S. Surgeon General

“Monday was my favorite day of the week because I got to do “Dancing With the Students” at 2 different schools with some wonderful and very appreciative students. It was fun getting to know and develop a relationship with some of the kids. This is an incredibly rewarding volunteer opportunity that also helps you stay in shape, get a good workout and learn ballroom dance steps.”
