Dancing After School

0 /15,000

We provide dance classes directly to the child’s after school care facility. This gives our dancers a way to creatively expel that “stored up” energy and helps them settle down for their tutoring sessions that follow. It also takes care of the headache of parents trying to organize transportation. 150 children are served yearly.
