During the past two years our results have inspired our deeply committed sta!! to work exceptionally hard to build a program that positively impacts an underserved population, their !amilies and our community. We have already seen that by giving these children something positive to !ocus on and the tools to achieve results that carry over to academic gains we are opening huge doors o! possibility and success.

Kids Dance Outreach is a preventative

program designed to equip young, at-risk, elementary school children with the discipline, con!idence, persistence and social cooperation skills that will allow them to achieve success and more easily handle !uture di!!icult situations. Although the Arts o! Dance and Music are the vehicle, this is much bigger than just learning dance steps. Our goal is to help kids discover “they can,” empowering them !or a li!etime.
