I conceptualized and developed a program called Dance Into Books for economically disadvantaged children. I initially started the program in my local library to complete volunteer hours for the Teen Advisory Board on which I served. After my first class I was so impressed with how well the children grasped the concept of stories translating into the art of dance and how fulfilled I felt after this experience I began to talk to my parents about the possibility of committing time in my schedule to offer classes on a regular basis.
