Heart of the Matter presented by Core Dance is a narrated dance performance developed to bring awareness to anti-bullying and to encourage self-awareness and positive body image.

This dance theatre work will enable school age children to: identify their feelings, investigate solutions when being bullied, develop an understanding of feelings and stress on the body and gain basic insights into the connection between feelings and bullying.  After the performance, there will be a short movement workshop to explore and physicalize some of the concepts that the children just learned.  Funding provided by the DeKalb Library Foundation.  Go to coredance.org for more information about this program and others provided by Core Dance.
