The ARTery is a non-profit arts-education organization formed in 2005 to enrich the lives of Omaha school children by making the arts more accessible and allowing them to experience the positive benefits of participating in the arts. The ARTery is dedicated to using the arts to break down cultural barriers, improve critical thinking and communication skills, empower individuals, and strengthen community.

The ARTery runs the Dancing Classrooms (http://dancingclassroomsomaha NULL.org/) program which seeks to build social awareness, confidence and self-esteem in children through the practice of social dance.
