| Exploring Alternatives to Violence—Dance Applications |
| Our goal is to create a dance environment in which youths are given skills to interact with their peers and to develop constructive social behaviors. The Exploring Alternatives to Violence program has evolved from community-based classes designed for school children & their adult sponsors. Samplings of these activities are: Joint Jive, Sculpturing, Positive & Negative Space, Mirroring & Echoing. No previous dance experience is necessary. |
