With this thought in mind, we are approaching you for support to continue Hattiesburg Performing Arts, Inc.
The focus of this company is to reach out to under-privileged children and senior citizens in the Hattiesburg and surrounding areas. Our mission is to provide little to no cost dance lessons to senior citizens and children with a focus on people with special needs.
Families of those with autism, for example, are constantly seeking alternative ways to support their children. Dance/movement therapy is one approach that is gaining more attention for its unique capacity to work directly with the core deficits of autism, according to Dance/Movement and Autism - Psychology Today.
There are countless articles and websites explaining the healthy benefits of dancing. Among mind-stimulating activities, dancing is unique in that it also provides beneficial physical exercise, a fun form of weight management and improved general and psychological wellbeing.
Kelly Vuyovich, founder and president of Hattiesburg Performing Arts, Inc., has been teaching ballroom and Latin dance for over 41 years. He takes time each week to travel to different senior citizen facilities to share music and movement through dance with them.
We would like to thank you in advance for your charitable contribution. Your donation will help implement these plans into action.
