Supporting girls in gaining the skills necessary through education, training and mentorship to become confident, college and career ready.
Last Thursday, we took 275 girls and 29 chaperones (including mentors) to experience the magic and joy of Debbie Allen's Hot Chocolate Nutcracker musical. The girls had a great time. Check out some photos from the day. #HotChocolateNutcracker #DebbieAllenDanceAcademy #YouthInspiredByArt
