My Project

My students need tap dance shoes to help enhance their performing arts experiences. They will gain self-confidence, coordination, team-building skills, and overall happiness.

Participating in performing-arts programs helps students develop a stronger sense of individualism, self-reflection, and self-esteem.

Participating in these activities helps them learn to commit to a task; prepare themselves emotionally, physically, and mentally; and work toward the goals of mastering and sharing their skills.

This project will help both 3rd-grade classrooms for many years to come. Students will be able to learn how to tap from a classically trained dance teacher, and then perform their dance to their families later on in the school year.
