Dance Shoes Prepare My Students to Succeed in Dance Class!

Funded Oct 22, 2024

I can't begin to thank you on the amazing opportunity to have received jazz shoes for my students to use in the dance class. My students and I are using the resources for every dance class to warm up, stretch and learn different routines. When the students walk into the class, there is a structured routine which is to walk right to the shoe box and put on the dance shoes to begin the class.

When my students first saw the materials, they were ecstatic because they knew that having the shoes would help them succeed. Being that my school is a Title I school and the students don't have the funds to get the shoes, having the materials available gives them motivation to learn and strive for high goals.

The next steps for my students on a current lesson or project is to be able to use the shoes for our upcoming spring dance show where their family and friends come to watch. Their parents will be happy to see their children dancing like beautiful ballerinas!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Alvarez
