My students come from an area that has a high poverty and crime rate. Many of my students do not get the physical activity that they need because they fear going outside to play. Obesity is another issue facing many of my students because they don't get the nutrition and exercise that they need. They love to dance and I hope that by combining fitness and dance, my students will become healthier.
