Programme Description
Our previous project, Youth Reach Out, ran for 3 years until evolving into Project Expansion which is on-going and also running for 9 months. Our vision with Project Expansion is to expand to as many schools in the Cape Flats areas of Cape Town, running after school dance programmes. We are stationed at Tygersig primary School, Ravensmead High School, Valhalla primary School and Elsies River High School. We teach ages 10-13 at the Primary school with an attendance of about 60 children and ages 13-16 at the High School with an attendance of about 40 children. The numbers fluctuate as some children come and go, but the amounts given are the dedicated ones who attend eagerly and diligently. This is a continuous project which will run for as long as possible and with the co-operation of the schools involved. Continuous dance classes are taught twice a week, training them in Classical Ballet, Contemporary dance and Hip Hop to ensure skills development and progression. Regular attendance registers are taken to ensure the dedication and commitment from the youth. Our youth have the privilege of being taught by 3 qualified and well experienced Dance Teachers in 2018. We aim to uphold the standard and level of technical excellence in dance and therefore we only employ qualified, experienced and well trained Dancers/ Teachers to work with our youth. We want to give our youth the best and aim for excellence with reports, certificates and performances to show for it.
