ABOUT DANCE TO IT

Dance To It is a program created to teach positive self-expression and to give our youth an outlet to relieve the stresses of school, growing up in an underprivileged housing project, homelessness, and problems within the home, while teaching etiquette, self-discipline, and teamwork, as well as building character and self-esteem.

It is our goal to teach our youth that rather than becoming succumbed by life's challenges, "Dance To It". Whatever obstacles or challenges you may face, you can "Dance To It". Storms, difficulties, circumstances, etc. are all life's music. We can choose to "Dance To It' or succumb to it. We will teach our youth to "Dance To It" to get through it.

It is our greatest hope that this program will create a profound appreciation for dance among our youth while keeping them off of the streets and out of trouble and giving them something greater to aspire to. We will also provide scholarships to 6 participating students through this program every year.
