For Students
The Resource Center is a place where people ages 5 through adult can come for performing arts. These arts include modeling, drama, dance, etc. The various styles of dance are ballet, liturgical, hip-hop, mime, African, Salsa and more. These classes are offered free of charge to low income families who can not afford the $50 & up per class fees that are associated with taking lessons in a performing arts studio. The training for these classes will be on a professional level so that partakers may experience the same level of excellence they would if they were paying. These students will continuously work toward presenting their art during productions. They will also learn the importance of giving back to their community by volunteering their time to showcase their talents to nursing homes, shelters, community events, etc.
For Leaders
The Resource Center is a fertile ground for leadership. Leaders are welcome to come to the Resource Center for assistance, further training, advice, support, and networking. They can also gain critical experience dealing with various students at various levels. They can learn and gather production experience in the areas of coordinating, management, delegations, garments, onstage, backstage, advertising and more.
