Empowering through
the wealth of art

Dance out of poverty aims at empowering
underprivileged children by providing free of cost
dance education and instilling life skills in them.

Why dance as a cause?

The world acknowledges poverty as a massive problem and
considers education to be a primary weapon to fight poverty.
Unfortunately in India, just like music & theatre,

Dance can be a powerful tool that can act as therapy to
channelize energy and condition the minds by
shaping overall character.
