My Project

Welcome to vibrant world of dance at The RELCMS in Brooklyn, N.Y. where we nurture the creativity and brilliance of our exceptional students. Our dance program is a source of joy and inspiration for these talented young individuals, but we need your help to make it even better.

Our school is a Title I school and many of our aspiring dancers face financial constraints that prevent them from acquiring essential dance class attire, such as leotards and tights.

But we believe that every student, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to pursue their passion with confidence.

By supporting our funding campaign, you will directly impact the lives of these budding artists. Providing them with proper dance attire not only ensures they can fully participate in dance classes but also ignites a newfound sense of self-assurance. Wearing the appropriate gear enables them to feel like true dancers, boosting their self-esteem and fueling their commitment to the art form they love.
