Dance plays a significant role in social transformation—facilitating emotional expression, cultural exchange, and social advocacy. By integrating dance into our programs, Project Elimu provides a medium for identity formation, emotional release, and community cohesion, aligning with its proven value in social development and holistic growth (Community Dance: A Catalyst for Social Change, Chenzhou Special Education Center School, Hunan, China, 2023).
“I have seen children who are physically inactive and emotionally broken develop into children who are now thriving and getting opportunities to study locally or internationally through dance.”
— Mike, Founder
Our comprehensive dance program allows students to explore their creative potential through diverse artistic activities including ballet, traditional African dance, arts and crafts, and music. We aim to provide a nurturing environment where children can develop their talent and express themselves through the arts, regardless of their background.
In a community where access to ballet education is scarce, Project Elimu attracts 280 students between the ages of 5-21 to the ballet program during the holidays and on weekends.
