We are proud to announce The 5th Annual ReMARCable Dance Project!

The ReMARCable Dance Project is an innovative dance program that combines the talents of Dance Key West, Steve Burns (Blue’s Clues, Moth Storyteller, Young Sheldon, STEVENSTEVEN) and MARC (an amazingly wonderful, local nonprofit serving adults with developmental disabilities).

This exciting program intends to benefit MARC clients by helping them improve coordination, participate in mild physical activity and provide an opportunity for socialization, all while learning the art of dance. We believe that artistic expression and physical activity are imperative to good health, and that every creative voice should be nurtured.

For the fifth year in a row, MARC clients team up with Dance Key West & Steve, to learn dance moves, create choreography, perform and have fun!

Please join us for “Poetry in Motion” at The Studios of Key West (Postponed - New Date TBA).

DKW collaborates with musicians in this three part series exploring the relationship between song & dance.
