These words were sung by Lee Ann Womack twenty years ago (gulp), but resonate with parents of every generation. For so many youngsters, dance has been a foundation for building confidence, joy, poise, creativity, strength, and so much more. What a gift to be able to give a child the opportunity to explore dance in a supportive and fun setting that allows for free expression and skill development.
Since 2016, and with financial support from Kids’ Club, Rivertown Dance Academy (“RDA”) in Tarrytown has been providing equal access to private dance education, regardless of the student’s ability to pay. Serving a total of 170 students this year, 24% of whom receive financial aid, RDA offers 57 weekly classes, an annual dance festival and 7 performing ensembles.
