#save dance

We only have 41 hours left in our indiegogo campaign. Help us reach our goals!

Local belly dancer and yoga teacher Sandy Myers came in to work with students toward the end of the reaches in the photo, the kids are really working. It's so great to see them giving it their all. 

Chloe, a Chappelow 7th grader, has been working on this piece for several weeks this summer in the courtyard at the apartment complex. She had her mom record her performance, complete with costume and edited music, so it could be shared so everyone could see how much she learned in dance classes last year.

Help Keep Chappelow Dance Alive. 

The end of the video is maybe my favorite thing ever. Chappelow students aren't well off for the most part, some of them don't have internet access at home. Lindy has never heard of tumblr, but she knew it existed and that I was posting stuff about the Chappelow Dance Program on it. 

I also love that she included her drawings. How cool is that?

Savannah had knee surgery during this past school year. While I knew she was a star (she ended up dancing with us the previous May even though she wasn't in any dance classes) it wasn't until after the surgery that I saw that star truly shine.

Once she was able to get up and dance again without the pain she had been experiencing she became a leader in her class. She is never afraid to step outside her comfort zone to try something new or different. That willingness is all that most dance teachers can ask their students to give.

This was the debut of Rockin' Santa mentioned here.
