The Problem

Health and weight in the United States is a growing problem. The population in the United States that is overweight it outstanding. Especially in the underprivileged areas. I wanted to be able to help change that problem but in a fun way. I am a current dancer and I thought that there was no better way to help the younger generation of the U.S. by bringing dance into the lives of others. My hope was that people would want to start dancing and it would help them stay fit.

Plan of Action

My plan was to put dance into the lives of children who wanted it. I found a school that was in real need of dance shoes. They had a whole program in their school for dance but no proper footwear. I planned to set up a huge dance shoe collection and put the collection boxes in varies popular locations. In total I collected over 130 shoes and gave them to a local school that was very grateful for the donation. The school used them for all of their classes.
