This quarter we had the honor to partner with a dance nonprofit to help our youth grow in emotional awareness and self-confidence through movement. We have found that many times children do not have the vocabulary to express themselves emotionally. During this event, children were allowed to dance how they felt in various ways. We saw children who rarely talk, come alive through movement. We witnessed some of the biggest smiles we have ever seen at our events. When we combine mentorship with creative expression, children learn to name what they feel and embody it through movement. Dance gives children a safe outlet to express big feelings, and practice courage, while feeling seen and accepted in a safe place. This partnership was about creating a space where youth can move through emotions and build emotional intelligence and confidence in themselves. As our programs grow, so does the need for community support. We are looking for supporters like you to help us by giving a donation of any amount to help us keep program like Dance Club funded.
