Hi Nader,

welcome to changemakers! You have some amazing material there, this looks great. Over at Dimension Dance, Ziba commented that NIKE increasingly uses videos for its dance platforms and asked whether the combination of sports and filming might not be a great new avenue for teaching and networking:

That might be of interest to you, too, but I was also wondering whether one couldn´t actually make the filming part of the project, especially with dancing, where movement plays such an important role. Thinking about how someone moves and how best to capture that movement might be a valuable addition to a youth program on dancing. Nowadays, with the wider ability of the technology, that should be relatively easy to do.

Hi Nader:

Welcome to changemakers. It looks as if you are already making changes to your community. Dance is a skill or activity that allows the dancer to be in control of his or her movements, I believe that when given the opportunity to express themselves that it does positively impact self esteem. I think you should consider looking at your local entertainers for support as well. Many have philantropic activities that they engage in, but like to see how you use the funding. Looking at where you have gone with this program, I am sure that they will see the potential.
