School Enrichment Programs

Revels partners with elementary schools to share its wealth of material, including children's songs, games, rituals, and dances from around the world. Many schools' core values include honoring and respecting differences. This correlates strongly with Revels' work of encouraging understanding and appreciation of the world's cultures through music, dance and drama. Revels can provide enrichment activities including afterschool programs, mini residencies, and classes.

School Programs

Revels Education teaches enrichment classes in both public and private schools. Options include one-time in school presentations, mini residencies, and afterschool classes. Currently Revels is providing afterschool programs in selected Cambridge schools. These classes include singing, dancing and drama featuring traditional folk material. 

Revels Mini Residencies
