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.
“This program not only talked about why student leaders should combat apathy, but also gave very tangible solutions.”
Amber Lesicko
Assistant Director, Programming
Dalton State College
