Outreach Programs

class_stretch_SMALLMalashock Dance School continues to create partnerships and develop programs that enhance the emotional, physical, and artistic development of thousands of children in our community each year. Our goal is to empower children through creativity and movement, creating great dancers and extraordinary people in the process. Our programs are offered free of charge to underserved student populations in the San Diego area. The foundation of our dance outreach programs is our ability to facilitate free and unfettered self-expression as a key to students’ realization of their own potential for creativity. This can remove barriers in order to enhance communication among students of different abilities, cultures, economic strata and levels of traditional academic achievement.

"I have been amazed at how quickly the students can interpret emotional communications through dance, in a way that only a few high readers can achieve through the written word." - Dewey Elementary Teacher (The Liberty School @ NTC Program)
