As a Dance Education Major and Future 1st Male Licensed Dance in my School District. I started a Non-Profit Org. December 2016 called Dare 2 D.R.E.A.M. (Dance Really Expands Artistic Minds) about the organization “We are a Performing Arts Multipurpose Non-Profit Organization. We believe that anything you put your heart into an be achieved. We hope that whatever DREAMS, you have chase them. There is more to ART than your everyday color pallet.”
Our Vision Statement:
“To plant a seed for Individuals to grow, develop and be themselves by providing a safe place and the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of genres in THE ARTS!”.
Our Mission Statement
“Push the Envelope, Reach for the Stars, but most of all
Dare 2 DREAM.”.
My overall goal is to educate my community through DANCE ( dance competitions, workshops and to provide scholarships to a Male and Female High School Students that have or will be expected in to college to study THE ARTS! by hosting an annual Scholarship Pageant.
Dance is an overlooked program when it comes to being offered as an academic course in Public Schools. Being a Dancer is look at as not a serious career choice. Especially as a Male you are tease and taunted because you dance growing up. I myself have experienced this kind of social abuse.
I am seeking help from /the Knighten Project to help my dream come true as a Dance Educator/ Dance Advocate in my efforts to raise money to provide students in the State of TN the opportunity to study the ARTS in college by hosting a Performing Arts Scholarship Pageant
