Step Ahead Dance Ensemble: A year-round version of Step Ahead, the Step Ahead Dance Ensemble is an after-school training and performing company with a focus on dances of the African Diaspora. This year's program is offered for free to DC teens, thanks to the support of our Dance is for Everyone Youth Scholarship Program donors.
"Dance puts me in a safe place that helps me remember who I am and what I am about. When I dance, social pressures cannot touch me and I can be myself. For one moment, I allow myself to forget the challenges I face. I hope to be able to dance for the rest of my life." - Meridian, 17 years old, Step Ahead Dance Ensemble member |
