That’s A Wrap!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our 9th annual East Side dance festival.
Dancers! Have you heard? You can now apply to be a part of the Gateway Project!
The Gateway Project is a multi-year program that offers free programming to talented young dancers in Hip Hop and Streetdance culture. The program aims to extensively develop their skills in dance, leadership, and self expression. The project goes beyond the youth in the program, by creating performances and opportunities for selected candidates to use their new skills to educate and inspire other youth beyond their communities. It also creates a gateway to employ-ability and mentorship for future career opportunities should they choose a career in dance.
“Mentor high school youth in dance to help them become employable in a creative career!”
