We welcome you to SHARE our VISION.

Slide 5

Since 2006, we have provided dance classes to over 3,000 children in 28 San Diego County schools.

Slide 6

Our children are facing very difficult challenges. The number one health concern is child obesity and overweight children.

Slide 7

Obese and overweight children face serious health consequences such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure

Slide 8

bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, social and psychological problems, such as stigmatization and poor self - esteem

Slide 9

and many other diseases that are increasing EVERY YEAR.

Slide 10

Lack of Physical Exercise Our children are doing less and less physical exercise at school.

Slide 11

School budgets have almost entirely eliminated the Arts and physical exercise from school curriculums.

Slide 12

The increased use of electronic devices such as TV, smartphones, tablets and computers

Slide 13

including the Internet and Social Media, contribute to LESS physical exercise.

Slide 14

Lack of Adult Supervision The majority of households have parents who work outside their homes. Often, there is a gap between the time children and parents arrive home.

Slide 15

Statistics show juvenile crime is the highest between 1 pm and 6 pm due to the lack of supervision and constructive activities.

Slide 16

Facing these challenges, Dancing After School has created a comprehensive physical program.

Slide 17

OUR CHILDREN NEED OUR HELP Our children can t wait for the government to resolve these problems.

Slide 18

With our support, our children can benefit from the Arts and physical activities brought back to the schools of our communities.

Slide 19

This comprehensive physical program has the following benefits :

Slide 20

Improves physical and mental health, as well as coordination

Slide 21

Builds self - confidence, increases self - esteem and self - respect

Slide 22

The Arts, dance and music enrich lives through self - expression

Slide 23

Dancing After School teaches the Arts, dance and physical exercise to our children under professional supervision after their regular school hours.

Slide 24

Classes are taught at their own school, usually between 1 pm and 5 pm, keeping children at their school in a safe environment, during the gap when juvenile crime is the highest.

Slide 25

Our goal for 2014 is to provide comprehensive after school programs to at least 187 San Diego County Elementary and Middle schools for FREE, at no cost to parents or schools.
