Let the Boys Dance Too!

Please help me give my students an equal opportunity to participate in performances! Male costumes allow the boys to shine as much as the girls on stage, and the curtain rod will provide the privacy they need when changing.

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

I love that the boys in my school love to dance just as much as the girls. Unfortunately, there are NO good costume options for boys, so they usually end up in plain clothes and do not get the same opportunities to shine as the girls. While we are grateful for the used costume donations, receiving costumes that suit the boys is scarce, so they often go unnoticed or look muted on stage.

The items listed here are exclusively for the boys' participation in our upcoming dance showcase.

The suits and fedoras will serve as their costumes, while the curtain rod will provide a separate, private, and proper area for changing clothes.

I aim to show our male dancers that they are equally valued and appreciated as the girls. Their hard work and dedication have given them a unique opportunity to showcase their skills on stage with a handsome costume matching their outstanding talent!
