Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Contempo Ballet offers a comprehensive, all-inclusive, dance educational arts program in partnership with community and cultural practitioners who are focused on helping underserved and under resourced youth (0-25), and/or system impacted youth residing in remote areas of southern California. The project will take place in various institutions and/or community-based settings; providing free access opportunities for participants (regardless of background or ability) to fully engage and participate in the arts. Programs, services, and activities are facilitated within safe, courageous and the least restrictive environments (LRE) while promoting healthy, positive, relatable perspectives on Latin heritage. This project is fueled by instruction, mentorship, and facilitated guidance for all youth to discover, self-express, and learn skillsets/disciplines that support, empower, restore, and transform them into successful leaders for tomorrow.
