My Project

As a dance coach, I am asking your help, once again, so I can provide a high-quality training to promote positive youth development and offer a safe space where youth can explore their potential.

Getting the right training equipment will help my dancers focus on four key areas of performance: dancer's strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination to improve performance and prevent injuries.

In addition, preseason strength and conditioning programs prepare my dancers for their upcoming season. In particular, building a strong foundation is important for improving skills, preventing future injury, and quickly enhancing overall fitness. Additional exercise equipment will help my dance team prepare for the upcoming competitions. Although preseason strength and conditioning is challenging, it helps dancers transition into high-intensity training and keeps them strong throughout their competition season.
