Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As we continue to grow our dance program, we need your support to grow our costume inventory. It is important to feel confident, safe, and special when dancers are on stage. This wish list can help with that and much more.

Most of our dancers do not have other dance exposure or opportunities to showcase their talents and hard work.

It is an honor and real privilege to be their dance teacher. We have made it work with the tools and costumes we have and we need more support to provide more than what we can offer at the moment.

Dance shoes are something that cannot be replace with an alternative, and we have been wanting to perform a real ballet dance for some time. How Magical would it be if we had all these amazing ballet shoes for them to perform in.

Along with the shoes, we also added leotards, and some basics that would benefit our dancers as they plan their choreography. I hope you can find it in your hearts and pockets to support any way you can.
