I embrace a students dreams, and will work to help them achieve those dreams to the best of my ability. Beyond the dance education, the organization will also work to provide leadership opportunities, to develop their voice (even if they dance it) and to participate in the betterment of the community by donating their time outside of the academy.”  In college, students take courses on the history, cultural context, and aesthetics of dance, in conjunction with anatomy, nutrition, and other subjects that foster healthy lifestyles for dancers.   The rePUBLIC of daNCe will provide this same concrete basics to help students comprehend why the fundamentals are so important to proper development and provide a strong foundation integral to their future growth.
