I go to boarding school, but prior to that spent five years at Sun Valley Community School.<br \/>\nAs a dancer and previous member of Footlight Dance, I enjoy the arts and want to bring similar opportunities to others. There should be more chances to learn about the arts and explore different passions outside of school sports. I organized a free dance camp located in Hailey, where kids can come to create community, learn how to dance, and express their creativity. My goal for the camp is to give children an opportunity to learn about different genres of dance and this program will teach dance basics and choreography, and provide time to play!<br \/>\nI am reaching out to the community because there should be an increase of diverse programs for all children to create unity. I want to make sure this area is welcoming and inclusive for everyone. My volunteers and I understand how important it is for young people to see themselves represented, and we hope families from all backgrounds, including Latino households, feel at home. We\u2019re excited to include and celebrate families from all cultures and languages.<br \/>\nWhether your child is a dancer or just loves to move to music, our goal is to foster joy, creativity, and community. The camp will run June 23\u201327 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. If you are interested, please email futurestarscamp63@gmail.com or call (208) 309-6141.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/strong><br \/>\nMe llamo Georgina Grant y soy miembro de la comunidad de Sun Valley.
