Kids Dance Outreach, Inc.

Description

Through community partnerships around Indianapolis KDO strives to share its high-level dance programs with thousands each year.

Through KDO’s programs children are inspired by the joy of dance and music as they're given something positive to focus on, specific goals to attain, a sense of meaningful accomplishment and an appreciation of the Arts. The program involves structure and discipline, listening and following instruction skills, persistence, problem solving, cooperation, body awareness, creative expression and the essential importance of caring for each other. By using classical ballet as our foundation, we are easily able to explore a wide variety of different cultural dances which promotes acceptance of all. While dance is the vehicle, the goal is to provide these young lives with a strong sense of self and the necessary tool kit to face life with the strength to overcome obstacles.

Our goal is to help kids discover "they can" and empower them for a lifetime.

KDO is an inclusive non-profit organization that strives to provide quality opportunities for students and their families across Indianapolis. Our programs level the "learning field" transcending socio-economic and racial boundaries thus bringing communities together.
