My Students

I work with some of the most beautiful students. In our dance program, students are learning to heal through movement and dance. They are learning the importance of communication, team work, and connecting their mind with their body.

These same students are the remaining students that have been given up on by every other school in Chicago, so they come to us.

They are strong, resilient, and hard working, even more so when they receive a little bit of hope and a nice serving of love. My students are products of a school system that has not completely wrapped its head around serving the social emotional before the academic. Our students focus on self healing through self care best practices, restorative best practices, daily peace circles, and a staff that supports their every step of their healing journey. When we show them how to take care of their inner healing, their outer selves can focus on things such as academics and becoming leaders in society, which is exactly what they are to our community.

My Project

We teach dance to students twice a week where they learn to connect their mind and body while learning new styles of Latin dancing. Students learn Salsa, Bachata, Hip Hop, and Merengue, where they will also have the opportunity to perform for their community to show what they have learned. These snacks will make the 4 hours during the week more bearable for them, so they are not dancing on empty stomachs. Unfortunately, all of our students are from low income homes, some of them are young parents themselves, foster students, or homeless, so providing a snack goes a long way for them. This help would be the reassurance to know we can help serve their minds, bodies, and stomachs.
