About Us
| Living Arts Dance & Fitness Studios Mission |
Our mission is to provide affordable professional performing arts programs for all. Exposing children to the arts is so
beneficial. Not only does it create cultured well-rounded individuals, but studies have shown a link between young
children who learn music and later go on to excel in math and science. Most importantly we want to give our youth an
outlet of self-expression and a great enriching diversion from the streets/city life. Through dance, music, theater, and art
we can began to teach young children self-awareness, decision-making, managing feelings, handling stress,
communication, group dynamics, and conflict resolution.
During the past 20 years, obesity among adults & children has risen significantly in the United States. The latest data
from the National Center for Health Statistics show that 30 percent of U.S. Adults 20 years of age and older (over 60
million people) are obese. The percentage of young people who are overweight has more than tripled since 1980.
Among children and teens age 6–19, 16 percent (over 9 million young people) are considered overweight. These
increasing rates raise concern because of their implications for Americans’ health.
At Living Arts Dance & Fitness Studios you can dance and burn the calories away! Keep your children physically fit as
well as culturally aware by exposing them to the performing arts. Dance is the most natural and fun work out on the
planet. So we ask you, "What better way is there to get in shape while having fun than Dance?"
