My Project

We have been so blessed by the DonorsChoose community to have been given many of these disposables in the past, and we are counting on you again!

My students come ready to dance mentally, but physically they often need some extras to make them more comfortable during class and performances.

Hair ties, scrunchies, wig bands, and edge brushes will help them get their hair ready to go during class or for performances, no matter how they choose to wear it. Deodorant, floss, and tissues are used daily as students need them. Safety pins and blackout paper are used specifically during performance time; safety pins for costumes and blackout paper to cover lights backstage so that we can have total darkness. Finally, compression shorts are needed for under costumes.
