who we serve

everybody dance! serves some of the poorest communities in California, including Rampart’s Pico–Union and Koreatown neighborhoods. Schools in these areas are overcrowded.  Resources are few. There are few, if any, after–school programs targeting the artseverybody dance!’s burgeoning enrollment and wait lists reflect the hunger of these communities for more exposure to dance and the arts.
  
   I’d jump through fire and water to get my daughter here. Because of this program, my daughter has done a total 180 degrees. She has a whole new level of confidence. Her social behavior was real bad, she was extremely shy; since taking the class, she does spins in the aisles of the grocery stores and she loves showing her cousins everything she learns. After her first recital, I cried, I was so proud of her because I thought she would freeze on stage due to her shyness but she did it!!!
