When We Dance:

The Life-Changing Work of Kids Dance Outreach

(Premiered on May, 4, 2023) More than two years in the making, the documentary film “When We Dance” shows us how it all works—following KDO’s Team of Teaching Artists and professional Musicians as they inspire excellence and exude motivational magic on children in classrooms, playgrounds, school gyms—anywhere a group of children can get together. We meet the proud, appreciative parents.

We listen to educators, civic leaders, and KDO graduates. They all seem to agree that the lessons children learn through KDO will serve them not just while they’re children but well into the future, for the rest of their lives.”When We Dance” is a local public television program presented by WFYI.
