Michael Dyson a.k.a Mr. Blue Shoes is a Grammy Award winning musician will leave your students in a trance with his soulful voice and guitar prowess.

Through songs, dance, storytelling, and humor, Mr. Blue Shoes stays true to the art form while providing an unforgettable learning experience that extends far beyond the textbook. An optional advanced study guide prepares teachers and students for the performance. "The presentation was, hands down, the most effective and engaging presentation I have witnessed in 25 years of teaching!" - Keith Hoffman, Music Specialist, Frank Guzick Elementary, Dallas ISD "Teachers did not mind giving up the instructional time because the program was full of social studies curriculum! Understanding this magical genre of music is EQUAL to learning American history! The level of student participation during the program was HIGH! So many times, kids are asked to just sit and watch a presentation. This was NOT the case." - Julie Buelle, Stonewall Jackson Elementary, Dallas ISD ***Outdoor performances options available to accommodate social distancing requirements
