According to Step Up for Students:
“Physical education is the development and maintenance of skills related to strength agility, flexibility, movement and stamina; the development of knowledge and skills regarding teamwork and fair play; the development of knowledge and skills regarding nutrition and physical fitness as a part of a healthy lifestyle; and the development of positive attitudes regarding sound nutrition and physical activity as a component of personal well-being.For scholarship students, these services must be delivered in-person in the state of Florida.”
We are overjoyed to partner with the Step Up For Students Program! At South Florida Dance Company, we believe that every child should have access to the art of dance and reap in the benefits the arts can have on the educational year’s of a child’s development.
Together with Step Up we can now make dance more accessible for all children that desire the opportunity to grow artistically under the direction of highly trained and efficient instructors. Dance acknowledged as a physical education exercise by the state of Florida is monumental for the industry and a giant leap towards providing a well rounded education for the children in our state.
