Hello! I have been accepted to serve in Brazil with Movement Exchange! Movement Exchange envisions a world where dance education is accessible to all, dance is synonymous to service, and dance enables all to achieve their optimal mental, social, and physical well-being. I am currently focused on obtaining my dance degree with a minor in psychology at Arizona State University. After I finish my undergrad, I plan to further my education in psychology. My end goal is to establish a community dance space focused on physical,spiritual, and mental health. Movement exchange unites dance and service through its network of university chapters, international dance exchanges, and year-round programs in underserved communities. If given this nontraditional opportunity I will be able to further my education this summer in Rio de Janeiro learning dance pedagogy, and child development. By uniting dance and service, I will be changing the world one community at a time. Thank you so much for any donation made. Even a little will go a long way!


Activities Planned:
Teaching in the communities of Pavao and Pavazinho.
Around 25 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old will be participating in our dance program each morning.
