This incredible annual celebration shows off the hard work of over 1,000 fifth and sixth grade students from nearly 50 Milwaukee area schools, as they compete in three dance styles as part of Danceworks Mad Hot Rhythm.
Thank you to our Mad Hot Competition Partners!
Wisconsin Center District hosts the bi-annual Mad Hot Competitions each year at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena for free of charge, so that all Mad Hot families can attend. The Herzfeld Foundation provides funding for busing to and from the Competitions so that transportation is not a barrier for students, families or schools.
If you would like to sponsor a Mad Hot Competition, please contact Development Director, Maggie Seer.
Congratulations to our winners and to every student who participated in Danceworks Mad Hot!
