We are celebrating 15 years in 2021!
This year has been full of uncertainty, but one thing is for sure, the Mad Hot show must go on! 15 years ago we started Mad Hot in just 3 schools. The program quickly spread, and last year the program was in 80 classrooms in over 40 schools! While we weren’t able to serve quite as many schools this year due to the pandemic, we’ve got 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 15 years. Mad Hot Rhythm, formerly Mad Hot Ballroom and Tap, will culminate in a virtual Competition on May 14, 2021.
We hope you can join us as we celebrate 15 years of Mad Hot dancing!Danceworks Mad Hot Tap 2020 Competition Results:
