“For my son, it’s just been an incredible experience, we’ve had a hard time putting into words how important it has been for him. I think to be a part of not just a dance community where he feels accepted but also to be able to broaden that is so important. The experience of exploring culture and diversity and coming together in a community in ways that you can’t always do unless you have something in common. Dance, music, the arts, is the common denominator.” - Parent of a summer program participant
