SEL based Dance Education for Schools
TAP: Transforming Art with Purpose
Dance Education for Emotional Growth and Personal Development
TAP: Transforming Art with Purpose is a transformative dance education program developed by Abstratics, designed to empower students from nursery through 10th grade. By blending the art of dance with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), TAP offers a unique opportunity for young learners to develop essential life skills while exploring their creativity.
The name TAP reflects the core mission of the program: to Transform Art with Purpose. TAP harnesses the transformative power of dance to promote emotional well-being, personal growth, and social development. Through engaging dance activities, students not only learn artistic expression but also gain critical skills like self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal communication.
TAP helps students explore, express, and regulate their emotions while enhancing their ability to connect with others. By fostering confidence, empathy, and emotional intelligence, TAP prepares students for success both in and out of the classroom. Join us on a journey where dance becomes a tool for personal growth and social change.
Why Choose TAP?
TAP: Transforming Art with Purpose is a unique dance program that combines the power of movement with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). This innovative program is designed to help students not only learn dance but also develop essential life skills like effective communication, collaboration, and emotional management. By focusing on core SEL principles—such as self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and self-regulation—TAP empowers students to grow both emotionally and socially through dance.
At TAP, we create a supportive, inclusive environment where every student, regardless of their dance experience, feels safe to express themselves. Our program encourages self-expression, strengthens interpersonal relationships, and equips students with vital skills that benefit them beyond the classroom. Whether you're new to dance or have experience, TAP provides an opportunity for personal growth and lasting emotional development.

Fostering Social-Emotional Growth Through Dance
At TAP, we believe in the power of dance to help students develop essential social-emotional skills. These life skills are crucial for their academic success and personal well-being. Our arts-based program focuses on building the following key areas:
- Communication: Dance encourages students to express themselves verbally and non-verbally, improving their ability to articulate ideas and emotions in a supportive environment.
- Empathy: By collaborating with peers through dance, students gain a deeper understanding of each other’s feelings, experiences, and perspectives, fostering compassion and inclusivity.
- Creative Confidence: Dance helps students build confidence in their abilities to think creatively, take risks, and express themselves without judgment.
- Self-Management: Through movement, students develop the ability to regulate their emotions, set goals, and stay focused—skills that help them navigate both personal and academic challenges.
Whether your school is just beginning to integrate SEL practices or looking to further enhance student growth, TAP provides the tools to support the emotional and social development of your students in an engaging and meaningful way.
