Dance As A Tool For Empowering Children Worldwide

Around the world, millions of kids face barriers to education, leadership, and self-expression. Dance can be a way to push back.

How Dance Builds Confidence

• Taking up space: Dance teaches people that their bodies are powerful, not something to shrink.

• Leadership skills: Choreography and performance encourage initiative and creative decision-making.

• Community: Dance groups give children belonging and support networks.

Global Examples

Programs in Africa, Latin America, and Europe use dance to help kids gain courage and find their voice. Many go on to become leaders in their communities.

When a person learns to dance boldly, they learns to live boldly — and that ripple effect can change entire communities.
