Recently, YDS performed and assisted in teaching a Latin Workshop for the neighborhood kids at Brooklyn Cortlyou Branch Library. They also represented New York children performing for a Lego commercial. And Youth DanceSport's Latin Dance Workout Routine has just been highlighted in Latin Teen Girl Magazine. The driving force behind the program is a belief that ballroom, latin and other partner dance forms teach social values to young people. Dancing helps them gain confidence and self-esteem while learning how to geel confortable in different social and cultural settings.
Youngsters also get an education in real history, sociology and cultural diversity.
Check for expanded schedule. PDEF has been revitalized this year and is helping to support DanceSport's Youth Program. They are offering a limited number of scholarships for qualified applicants. These shirts are required for all field trips and outside activities. Appropriate shoes, sneakers, character or jazz shoes are required.
