After School & 1-1 Mentorship
It's bigger than dance. We use dance as our escape to artistically embody characters and tell stories through movement. It temporary provides us with an outlet to focus on conveying stories outside of our own or maybe those alike. It is our hope to transform students lives through dance and build up discipline, creativity, and self-confidence. Ultimately, to help them acquire the vital tools and resources to empower them in their journey within the arts. It doesn't stop at dance. We've developed our after school and mentorship programs to target deeper internal conflict and be of assistance to students beyond the dance studio.
After School Program
Delaware Center for Dance partners with nearby schools to offer free afterschool dance training. We created this program in an effort to provide students with free high quality extracurricular activities that they may not be able to afford. Strategically targeted at low-income families to be of service in our community. It provides students with something to look forward to upon their school departure and potentially out of trouble.
Mentorship Program
Our mentorship is another free program we offer to students. What students can't express through dance, we hope to tackle through this program. Our mentors will provide a listening ear and offer support according to each individual. We will empower youth to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their potential through being trustworthy and available. We will help build knowledge, confidence, character, and skills to lead them on their journey.
