DANCE FLOOR THEORY™️
Student Leadership Training
Turning Student Leadership into Campus Engagement
Just like a real dance floor, campus life has a center and an edge, and too many students are stuck on the sidelines, disengaged. Dance Floor Theory helps student leaders bridge that gap.
Winner of 8 national speaking awards and trusted by hundreds of colleges every year, this innovative training gives student leaders a practical, proven model to increase engagement across clubs, organizations, residence halls, and orientation programs. With over 1 million students trained, DFT is the go-to framework for building stronger communities and boosting retention.
