Our goal is to have 10 Ambassadors who will teach five workshops each. We will leave a CD and video tape at each school, so the children can practice. At the end of the year, we will host a picnic or half-time show, where all the children will perform together.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) May 7, 2007
Children and teenage students from the Scottsdale-based Arizona Angels Studio are launching the "Kids of America" Ambassador program, a community outreach program designed to teach underprivileged children how to dance. The program will target child-based organizations and underprivileged schools.
Inspired by the "Kids of America" team, who just performed at the White House, the directors of the Arizona Angels Studio will provide a fun free dance class for children who cannot afford to enroll at a dance studio.
"There's just something about children helping other children. I am very proud of my students for wanting to do this," remarked Amy Leroy-Gelb, founder and owner of the Arizona Angels Studio.
Gelb adds, "Our goal is to have 10 Ambassadors who will teach five workshops each. We will leave a CD and video tape at each school, so the children can practice. At the end of the year, we will host a picnic or half-time show, where all the children will perform together."
Schools or Child-based organizations that are interested in inviting an Angel Ambassador to their facility may call the Arizona Angels Studio at 480-922-1455 to set up a dance lesson.
The "Kids of America" Ambassador Program is one of many ways the Arizona Angels Studio is involved with the local community. As part of their culture, students are encouraged to become involved in acts of charitable service through activities such as raising $17,000 for the Autism Walk, $15,000 for Hurricane Katrina victims, feeding 350 homeless families during the Holidays, participating in the Special Olympics, and joining the Fashion Show to benefit the Emily Center at the Phoenix Children's Hospital.
