mackeymack — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:22:20 -0500

The problem I am trying to solve is literacy in low income communities. The best place to start is with children when they are young and give them the joy of reading.

Vision In Motion (VIM): Youth Empowerment through Dance

jrhowe — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 04:10:28 -0500

In this community an increasing number of people lead sedentary lifestyles and rates of obesity are rising. The need to improve levels of physical activity and develop healthier lifestyles has never been more pressing. If people are to make positive decisions about improving their health and well-being, they need to be able to choose from a range of suitable options. As the fastest growing of all the art forms, dancing can have a powerful effect on people’s lives—physical, emotional, mental, and social benefits.

The "Just Us" Conference is a weekend conference, including various arts-based workshops for young adults, mainly high school students, primarily located in the Hudson Valley. The workshops and conference work towards youth empowerment through the arts, as well as guidance in how to create and form youth groups, and getting college scholarships, for example.

Culture in Motion

New Haven is a city where people are judged by the hood they represent. It is a place that, based on its history, was founded by violence, and descriminations whine in my ears like gunshots, for which there are plenty to go around here. School events are even cancelled to supposedly eradicate the tensions between violent teenagers. These restrictions, as well as the attitudes displayed by the students, make peace nearly impossible.

Pancreatic Cancer Dance

During my junior year in high school my friends and I decided to hold a benefit dance to raise money and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer, a usually fatal cancer. My friends father was recently diagonosed with this Cancer in the spring of the previous year. So we decided to help other victims by raising money to aid in the research of this cancer. We went to businesses all over our area to gain sponsorship money to help with our profits. Then we had to find a location. Our school told us we coudn't have it there, so we decided on the local skating rink.

Sole2Soul is a project idea that recyles slightly used dance shoes so that all children can participate in dance classes. Dance shoes are expensive. Hip Hop shoes and Pointe shoes cost $80 a pair. Tap shoes and Jazz shoes cost $40 a pair. Children grow out of their dance shoes quickly. This recyle program will give all children the opportunity to take part in dance classes without having to pay for new shoes.
