AFTER MY LUNCH I WENT TO WESTGATE COMMUNITY CENTER

CHARITABLE DEED #2- DANCE CLASS FOR KIDS

I know that Kurtis said we should try to use our artistic abilities to inspire those in our community and give back. I decided, since I dance, that I would give a free dance class to the children of Westgate community center.I chose this community center because these kids are kids that have never been exposed to dance and dont have a way to be exposed to dance. I am luky that mom has a dance company, I have always been able to be involved in it and dance has truly shaped my life. I feel bad that so many kids, especially less fortunate kids, are not able to have the same experiences that I have had so I wanted to share that with them for free and it was wonderful. I went to the center and started at 4:00pm. When the kids first came in, they seemed nervous so I started out with some exercises and jumoing around to break the ice. They really started to enjoy it and they really got into it, even the boys who didnt want to do it at first. I then did some accross the floor with them, turns, kicks, etc..., then, I taught them a fun jazz routine. I was suprised at how quickley they picked everything up and how much they enjoyed it. It absolutly warmed my heart when the kids came up to me after and hugged me and asked , "when are you coming back ? ". This experience was so amazing to me, I will definatly continue doing this and I told the kids I would be back soon and I will keep that promise!!!
