The DanceSport Education program needs the funding and visibility to reach its full potential for social impact! With your support, we can make the program accessible and affordable for Arizona’s children and youth.
With the current trends of diminishing public funding for sports and arts programs, and the inability of many parents to privately afford those, especially in low-income, at risk school communities, children and youth remain negatively impacted and are deprived of participating and experiencing the benefits of those opportunities. This also includes the students with special needs and autism, who currently have no such opportunities.
Just for the last school year, your generous support made ballroom dance accessible to over 100 low-income students at Create Academy.
This school year, we are partnering with Arizona Autism Charter Schools, serving 200+ students in grades KG-12 to deliver a school-wide ballroom dance program as part of their school curriculum in support of their education. 200+ students with autism with all range of abilities receive 10 ballroom dance lessons daily from our top-rated, world-class ballroom dance professionals year-round. This is an unprecedented, pioneer effort in the US! We are bringing the research and the benefits of ballroom dance to the students with autism at their school, in their classrooms!
Your sponsorship will directly support the critical need to increase the number of children in Arizona who engage in ballroom dance as a physical activity to build life-long healthy habits.
We hope you will consider sponsoring at the Masquerade Ball GALA and join our efforts to help shape a generation of healthy and thriving children and youth!
