Everybody Dance LA! launched its Watts Saturday Program in 2023, bringing its high-quality dance program to the Watts Community, and we are currently serving over 90 students across both campuses of our sister organization the Gabriella Charter School.
The best dance education program I have ever encountered…As I traveled through the many studios, I immediately noticed the way children stood, confidently in space. There was this incredible sense of equality and confidence, no one hiding in a corner, or pushing their way forward. These children of all different backgrounds seemed wonderfully comfortable in their skin.
