  • Strength and Wellness through Dance Education

    Funded Oct 24, 2023

    Thank you very much for your donation! These items have arrived, and we use them regularly to build confidence, strength, balance and poise. These urban students are learning lifelong physical fitness and wellness skills when they learn to exercize and dance at a young age, and these skills will carry them through their lifetime. Using these items, such as the foam and foot rollers, also provide stress release for students in a time when the world is so stressful for them. Thank you for your generous support of our public school dance program. We appreciate your kind donation.”

  • Dance Your Way to Reading

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so very much for your donation to our public school Dance program. This program reaches 500 inner city students and motivates them to enjoy and attend school.

    Specifically, this project brought puzzles and many books to our studio/classroom. I try to read at the beginning of every dance class and use this time as an opportunity to support student literacy, language, and vocabulary development. They love hearing new books related to dance and reading to them is a fantastic way to develop a love for reading and cultural expression.

    Thank you, again, so much for your support.”

  • Dance Your Way to Balance, Coordination, and Poise

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so very much for your donation to our public school Dance program. This program reaches 500 inner city students and motivates them to enjoy and attend school. Dance helps improve their balance, coordination, and physical strength as well as their connection to and understanding of the arts.

    Specifically, this project brought a safe tumbling mat to our studio that students can use to learn dance and gymnastics skills. The balance boards are enjoyable and fun for students to develop proprioceptive sense. And, the therabands can be used for strength training.

    Thank you, again, so much for your support.”

  • Tamborines for Public School Dance Program

    Funded Mar 14, 2023

    Thank you so very much for your donation of the tamborines. We are a new public school dance program, and we are getting everything up and off the ground. Your donation is greatly appreciated because the children need to learn how rhythms and music are associated with dance and movement.

    We have already started using the tamborines. I have used them in Kindergarten through 4th grade to teach rhythms. We also used them during the Native American dance lesson. We are building in an understanding of cultural dance, and use of the tamborines ties nicely into that theme. I will also use them to teach Spanish dancing.

    It was such a nice surprise to open the email that my project was fully funded! I was so thankful and very impressed at your appreciation of the arts, especially dance arts. The tamborines came quickly, and I am looking forward to using them every year, for years to come. Thank you for your generosity and appreciation of the arts in schools.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Thoren
