Kick It Out! – It takes an athlete to dance, but an artist to be a dancer.
“Where everyone has a chance to dance.” Our Mission is to provide a wholesome environment that fosters moral values and integrity through dance. Promote and display positive self-awareness and modesty, operating with an approach to cultivate family values through respect, diligence, courage, and strength.
