Funded Mar 27, 2018The technology we are using from the laptop that was donated has been extremely beneficial. We use the laptop to edit the music that we need for our showcases, class warm ups, and any other activities that we participate in. Being able to edit and play the music teaches the kids about musicality and how to edit the music themselves. They have even choreographed and edited their own pieces for our spring and winter showcase.
One of the products we received were leather jazz shoes. The jazz shoes helped the students' technique by preventing them from slipping. They were able to turn better and the choreography looked clean. Students were able to point their feet which is an essential part of our training to improve our technique. They looked very prepared and they loved how their costumes looked, the jazz shoes matched the costume and it looked very put together. The students really got into character because they were able to dance better and were very confident in their costume.
We also received combat dance boots. The boots were used in our showcases. They really brought together our outfits and made us stand out. The dancers felt extremely comfortable and confident wearing the boots. The dance came together very nicely and looked complete. The students were very happy with all of the items that were donated.”
