ConfiDANCE

“What I like most about this program is how it built my confidence throughout each class. At first I was nervous and couldn’t get anything right but each class that went on, I saw myself improving and getting comfortable with dancing. This is not only boosted my confidence in dancing but in other aspects of my life too.” – 7th Grader

Youth ballroom dancing program

Our foundation co-sponsors the ConfiDANCE program with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’s Nevada Institute for Children’s Research & Policy (NICRP). It utilizes ballroom dancing as a unique method to increase social-emotional learning in middle-school youths (ages: 11-14; grades: 6th-8th). We invite these youths to compete at our Desert Challenge competition to gauge their progress and showcase their talents.
