As a special activity, each school in the Dancing Classrooms program has the option to participate in the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match, as seen in the hit documentary film 'Mad Hot Ballroom'.   At the close of each course, students audition to participate, with twelve students from each school advancing to the competition.  The schools are identified by colors, with ladies wearing colored sashes and the gentlemen wearing colored cards pinned to their backs.
