My Project

Happy 2023-2024 School Year!

I made this Donors Choose project a mighty big one with the hopes that little by little before the end of the year the dance studio can transform to being a more welcoming and inclusive space for our dancers!

Last year a big set back to teaching styles like tap and using percussion was the sound levels in the room. Collaborating and listening to music in a room that echos can become overwhelming.

The dance flooring, acoustic panels, and soundproof rug on this list will create more opportunities for students to learn various styles of dance, collaborate more often, and feel calmer in an upbeat environment! Let's make our school's dance space more accessible! Your support is appreciated!
