More than Dance

My niece is a student at a local dance studio - The Terrance M Johnson Dance Project. What I LOVE is the founder/director formed this service to provide the arts to underserved populations. I attended their first showcase earlier this summer and yesterday I was able to observe their summer camp for a few hours. They are providing a free, 5 week dance intensive to an underserved area in the Frazier neighborhood of southern Dallas. How do they begin their day? Yoga! Loved it! What I also loved? Driving through the community that grew me up so to speak. Some things have changed, some stayed the same, but the memories and experiences are rich and special to me. I pray that one day the babies who are attending the TMJ summer intensive at the Frazier Revitalization Center will look back on this time the same way I fondly remember my countless summer days at Exline Recreation Center.
