About Us
What makes FDC unique?
We aim to generate a powerful network of dance, music, and theatre instructors who provide exclusive services to local non-profit organizations. Each class is tailored to serve each specific community.
S.L.A.P Programs
Student-Led Artistry in Performance (S.L.A.P.)
Held at Los Arboles Middle School in Marina, CA, both dance and theatre programs are lead throughout the week. Students are given the opportunity at a young age to practice structured leadership, discipline, and individual creative expression.
Dance - Students are given the opportunity to choreograph their own dances for performance, as well as planning costumes and lighting design -- along with learning multiple dances, in various styles.
Theatre - Aside from having more input on blocking and set, and prop design, students are able to learn about theatre production as a whole (including lighting and sound production), all from trained professionals.
Adaptive Dance
Held at Art Abilities in Pacific Grove, CA, dance instruction is brought into the visual arts studio each week. As a non-profit, Art Abilities provides supplies and training to adults and youth with learning differences, as well as providing a platform on which students can publicly display their art for sale.
Our dance classes parallel the visual arts program in teaching the students various styles of social dance and free form dance technique and concepts -- creating an avenue for the students, of all ages, to rehearse and become more comfortable with social and creative independence.
