Dancing Through the Curriculum is accepting mentor applications for the 2018-2019 academic school year for our Sistah Girls Program. Sistah Girls empowers young girls of color to appreciate their inner and outer beauty and realize their self-worth. Through girl talks, monthly workshops, and an annual exposure trip Sistah Girls are encouraged to strive for excellence in their finanaces, relationships, social interactions, education, and future careers. This program builds lifelong bonds of sisterhood, while equiping our girls to win...together!
Volunteers will lead girl talk sessions once a week (Tuesdays), attend girl empowerment workshops/invite guests, and help DTC staff plan the annual girl's trip. We are looking for 5-10, dedicated and committed female leaders to spearhead this program! If you are intererested, please respond to this post by Friday, August 10th 2018!

Mission Statement
Dancing Through the Curriculum (DTC) is a nonprofit, community-based after-school and recreational program dedicated to educating and empowering youth through the art of dance and academic concept lessons.
Description
Our satellite programs in North and South Nashville allow students to learn the fundamentals of dance while also enhancing their knowledge of TN academic curriculum. Certified teachers, professional dancers, college interns, teaching artists, and volunteers provide instruction for our diverse student body in the forms of ballet, pointe, African, modern, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, tap, majorette, yoga, and tumbling. Classes run 10 months throughout the year, with a break during June and July for our "Smart Moves" summer dance camp.
DTC provides enriching experiences for youth attending "highly diverse" or "high risk" public schools. We offer academic tutoring, mini kinesthetic concept lessons, and various disciplines of dance at discounted rates. The goal is for all students to be afforded quality dance instruction and academic support. Our participants work toward meeting their academic goals while becoming more knowledgeable about the performing art of dance. We believe true education includes movement and the arts.
