The Chicago Public Schools system will double the size of its elementary school ballroom dancing program, officials announced.
Board of Education President Rufus Williams said in a news release Friday that 15 more schools–for a total of 30–would offer the dancing-based curriculum to 5th graders. That amounts to about 900 pupils, officials said.
The Having a Ball program, introduced last school year, teaches children many styles of dance, from the fox trot to swing.
