Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Korean American Youth Performing Artists will pay teachers their salary ranging from choreographers, language teachers, videographers, art teachers and music producers for new performances. Another plan that we have with the funds are to fix the dance floor that the students use due to the broken panels and unevenness of the concrete below. The funding will also be used to create a float for the parades we take part in every year. Buying instruments are also a must to distribute to the students. The technology we have to create music and make videos will be upgraded if we have any funds left over to make content and create music. We also plan to support housing for North Korean refugees that have escaped the nation.

Organization Summary

This organization performs at various locations in America to showcase and to present Korean culture. KAYPA before COVID-19 performed in various locations around, where ever possible for students to travel without the possibility of missing school days. This non-profit organization performs usually at the Hollywood Christmas Parade, LA events about culture, Brea, Korean shows in Orange County, and many more usually during the latter half of the year. The performances consists of dance with the inclusion of traditional musical instruments for the show. We fully invite anyone to join the organization for different objectives like learning the Korean language, understanding modern and old ways of life in Korea, writing a book for other people to learn, learning the different types of Korean dances, creating connections in the Korean communities, and making experiences through travel and performances. Because of the diverse makeup of ages ranging from children to young adults, we create a schedule that can benefit anyone to attend every class that can interest them.
