My Project

These jump rope dance kits will be enough to get 24 kids in 12 pairs jumping and dancing simultaneously! These supplies will benefit urban, upper elementary and middle school students.

These kits will be used to improve dance skills, fitness, rhythm, musicality, teamwork, health, and provide exposure to cultural dances and games.

These can be used to teach Cambodian dances like the Pestle Dance as well as traditional recess-type games like the Chinese jump rope, also called French skipping. My dance studio classroom will allow us enough space to burn calories jumping indoors to music over our stereo system!

Help support my public school dance studio classes by providing these supplies to get us moving, dancing, jumping, singing, clapping, and grooving together!
