The Problem

I provide dance(hip hop, ballet, jazz and modern)instructions to children and teens ages 3-12 to help reduce childhood obesity. Dance instructions are provided to the community during an after school program from 2:30p until 6pm Mon. thru Fri. This community is on the north side of town with 90% free and reduced lunch families. Many of these families are low-income and would not spend the extra money for outside dance and/or exercise programs.

Plan of Action

1. I created brochures and flyers to the community about the dance program. 2. I had interested parents to register their children between ages 3 and 12. 3. I asked the owner of the local childcare if they would donate space for this dance program. 4. Each class has 10 or more students. 5. 3 recitals are scheduled for the year to show the parents what their children have learned. 6. Certificates are given to participants at the end of the season. This program made such a great impact during the summer of 2010 that parents asked if it could continue during after school hours. New students registered for the fall and winter programs.
