FUSION

Using the arts to develop life and learning skills - Through movement, rhythm and music, children learn discipline, self-expression and cooperation. While the weekly classes are designed to challenge students to realize their physical and creative potential, we are committed to leaving no child behind. Benefits associated with study of the arts and student achievement include: Reading skills, Social skills, Collaboration, Perseverance, Mathematical skills, Motivation to learn, Sense of community, Self-esteem, Recognition of effort as the main ingredient for success. 

Our children's program offers classes in, Modern, Contemporary, JazzFunk, Hip-Hop and Flamenco. Our facility is also used as a home base for a not for profit Folklorico dance company, Resurrección Mexican Folk. This youth dance company developed an interest by its Artistic Director, Rafael Valpuesta, to provide a different style of Mexican folk dance to the children and youth of his community.  

Dance To Make A Difference (D2MAD), was created with the sole purpose of inspiring and motivating the youth of the community to use the art of dance as a  form of self-expression. A tool to teach basic life skills such as positive thinking, teamwork, promoting unity, diversity and discipline. We encourage artistic expression using music and movement through out their lives. 

Thanks to the California Arts Council and LA County Arts & Culture we are able to offer this program.
