| Your donation will help support scholarships for young dancers, provide guest instructors for specialty dance classes, create performance opportunities, enhance dance costumes, and contribute to other community dance programs. Programs, such as Dancing with Parkinson's and Metro Parks Community Centers Outreach are currently reduced in scope due to lack of funding. These programs are important for building community relationships and for providing creative and confidence building activities for our children. Your donations and support will help deliver these programs. |
