Programs

  • Right to Dance Programme

    The programme, "Right To Dance," focuses on empowering students by nurturing their strengths and teaching essential life skills through dance. Workshops are conducted in slum areas across 10 districts in Delhi and 2 in Mumbai, using dance as a therapeutic outlet while imparting valuable skills. Students receive basic dance education alongside classes aimed at overall development, including personality enhancement, storytelling, theatre, fitness, and nutrition. Monthly assessments gauge progress in confidence, self-esteem, fitness, and social integration. The process involves selecting 50 students in each of the 14 districts, dividing them into two batches, providing thrice-weekly training sessions, and organizing events to showcase their achievements, ultimately aiming to transform the lives of children from low socio-economic backgrounds.

  • Student's Playground Programme

    In "Student's Playground," everyone is encouraged to dance and receive dance education, regardless of their background. It empowers students to express themselves freely through the organisation's social media platforms, where they act as choreographers and editors without moderation. This fosters confidence in performing, preparing them for larger stages and audiences. The playground serves as a space for growth, creativity, joy, and learning, instilling hope and a sense of agency in students despite their economic circumstances. Through this initiative, students embark on a journey of imagination, creating what their hearts desire.
