Over the past two years, we have been fortunate enough to engage in trial programs with partners such as Des Moines Public Schools, Des Moines Performing Arts, Mainframe Studios, ASAP After School Programs, The Women's Resource Center, and multiple other entities to produce weekly programming for youth in-school and after-school. Our goal is to provide safe spaces for young artists to netwerk and train in cultural dance techniques, to perform at multiple DM festivals and engage audiences, and to offer professional development opportunities to young teaching artists.
