Overview
Zohar Dance Company makes dance accessible, inclusive, and relevant through programs targeted to those who would otherwise be unlikely to experience dance. The company provides in-school dance classes and performance opportunities to more than 400 at-risk and underprivileged elementary students in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, as well as children with special education needs. Zohar rounds out its programming with a regular schedule of dance classes for adults in its studio, providing a complete spectrum of community outreach. A renewal grant would support core programs, the addition of teaching assistants, and the updating of communication and outreach tools.
