#GivingTuesday!

Make a difference in the life of children in our community. Give today to Art Connects!

Citie Ballet believes that children should have equal access to activities that promote a sense of well-being and allow them to feel included. Art Connects is a program that enables underserved children and youth in our community to take part in free dance classes, which will:

• Build physical literacy; the love of movement and desire to be physically active for life.
• Improve physical health.
• Increase social and communication skills.
• Improve self-esteem.
• Create meaningful connections.

Dance is a positive tool to foster success and one success can lead to another. Research on the impact of arts involvement for at-risk children, teenagers, and young adults reveals improved academic achievement, higher career goals and greater social engagement when they are engaged in some sorts of arts activity. Engagement equals empowerment and feeling empowered gives youth more options.
