The IEProgram hosts seven dances throughout the year. Each has its own personality and style. They’re held up and down the Wasatch Front, with different ages invited, different dress, and something different to look forward to each time.

The dances are for all teens, whether or not they are enrolled in our classes.

Come with a group. Come with a friend. Come with a date. Come on your own. There’s always room on the dance floor.

More Than a Dance
Our dances are about more than getting dressed up and spending an evening together. They give teenagers a chance to make friends, meet new people, step a little outside their comfort zone, and learn how to build real relationships.

We believe those experiences matter. In a world where it’s increasingly easy for teens to socialize without actually being together, we want to create opportunities for them to practice being with people, taking social risks, making plans, and finding their people.

IEProgram Director Sam Martineau has written more about why we host dances and how he thinks about helping teenagers develop the skills and confidence to build strong relationships. He calls his framework The Ramp.
