Dance In Its Time is our current arts integration outreach program. DIIT brings to DC Public schools a performance and education program exploring 20th century American social history through dance. DIIT was origianlly funded through a grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to be implemented at Stuart Hobson Middle School in Capitol Hill.  Artistic Director Roberta Rothstin and Outreach Coordinato and Company member Aquiles Holladay provided instruction in jazz, hip hop, African and the connections between these techniques.  We are looking to develop and expand Dance In Its TIme to other schools in DC, Maryland and Virginia.
