Youth and Community Dance Initiative

Welcome to Youth and Community Dance Initiative. At YCDI, we believe dance can be many things to many people. It can be an opportunity for kids in a housing project to learn the basics of hip hop, or for senior residents to reminisce through an afternoon of foxtrots and swing.  Dance can be a release for pent up anxiety and stress. It’s a fun and effective form of exercise. Young people can learn a lifelong skill.

Through community partners, YCDI strives to make dance available to all these people for all these reasons. Dance is a most effective communicator.  
Help us make dance available to all.

"We can't always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it."
