1. Free Dance Camps for Children with Special Needs

- Inclusive Environment: The dance camps are designed to be inclusive, offering a safe and supportive space where children of all abilities can participate, express themselves, and experience the joy of movement.

- Skill Development: These camps help children with special needs develop essential skills such as balance, perseverance, following directions, and social interaction, all while being part of a group.

2. Educational Outreach

- Reading and Teaching: The founder, BrekLynn Pancheri, reads her children's book on the importance of inclusion to 1st through 4th graders. This initiative educates young children about diversity, acceptance, and the importance of including everyone, fostering a culture of empathy from an early age.

- School Visits: These readings at elementary schools not only spread the message of inclusion but also engage young minds in discussions about celebrating differences.
