2017-2018 Annual Report
Thirty-two years ago, we saw the same vision: the incredible possibility to enhance young people’s lives with hard and soft skills needed to flourish in life through the art of dance. At the time, we were young people ourselves and deeply understood the acceptance and guidance they sought. In our own respective ways, dance was a haven and a safe space and we wanted to share its intrinsic value. At times we received push back, because we weren’t part of their community. But, as we focused on our founding values of mutual respect, responsibility, accountability, and self-discipline with dance as the foundation, we began to build and develop relationships that have spanned generations and evolved into a beautiful and beloved community.
