My students need an LCD TV that can play DVDs in order to learn current trends in dance.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Parks's classroom raised $999

This project is fully funded

Inner City Performing Arts High School Dancers are working smart and hard, to be the best they can be.

Blessed with discipline and persistence, these inner city student dancers will do whatever they need to in order to learn. Observation is vital to improve my dancers' skill level. Unfortunately, our school district does not have the funds for an LCD/DVD PLAYER for the dancers to observe and study dance genres & technique, a necessity in the teaching process.

An LCD/DVD can serve as another method of observation and execution of vital dance techniques as well as show these kids that all things, big and small, are possible.

Your donation of an LCD/DVD will enhance the chances of these young dancers going on to the next level - a college dance program. Through dance, they have realized raising their self-esteem as they work toward being the best they can be.
