Dancing After School (DAS) is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive life changing dance programs to youth in under-served areas throughout San Diego County. Using dance as a vehicle to inspire youth and provide a culturally relevant outlet, DAS has been able to make an extremely positive impact in communities where a tremendous need exists. Based in San Diego, sites are located from Vista to San Ysidro and provide meaningful dance fitness programs to more than 1100 3^rd-8^th grade students each week!  Dancing After School responds to many issues that affect youth in our San Diego communities, such as: delinquency, gang activity, propensity toward risky behaviors, poor diets, sedentary behaviors, and lack of positive role models.  DAS dance classes are held on school grounds, conducted by professional dance instructors, supervised by DAS program staff, volunteers, parents, and school faculty.  Students choose from a variety of different dances such as, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Tango, Hip Hop, Break Dance, Mambo, Cha Cha, Swing, Jazz and Capoeira. During the term, students work on dance concepts, choreography and coordinating costumes. They learn self-discipline, build character and strengthen respect and healthy relationships with caring adults. Students gain a sense of responsibility and work together to achieve goals and plan for the final event. At the end of each term, DAS holds a Student Performance where the kids have a chance to show off what they have learned to Parents, Teachers and Community members.  Please help keep this organization alive by supporting after school programs.
