Celebrating 17 years of Mad Hot in 2023!

Trowbridge School Representatives at the Mad Hot Rhythm 2022 Competition.

We are celebrating 17 years of Mad Hot in 2023!

17 years ago we started Mad Hot in just 3 schools. The program quickly spread, and this year the program is in 40 classrooms in 32 schools! While we weren’t able to serve quite as many schools in the 2021 year due to the pandemic, the program is thriving and we have a great bunch of dancers ready to show off their new skills! The mission and motivation of Mad Hot have always centered around the kids, and it remains the same after 17 years. Mad Hot Rhythm, formerly Mad Hot Ballroom and Tap, will culminate in a Competition at the Panther Arena in mid- April 2022.

 

We hope you can join us as we celebrate 17 years of Mad Hot dancing!
