Dance Empowerment is a Fresno-based nonprofit dance organization offering dance and fitness classes in a supportive environment. Its programs include beginner training for students with no prior dance experience, as well as advanced team opportunities for experienced dancers. Instruction focuses on skills such as identifying musical beats, counting music, understanding standard 8-count, recognizing body movements, choreographing hip-hop routines, and distinguishing between hip-hop, breaking, and popping. The organization uses dance and performance as a way to encourage youth to stay in school and remain away from gangs, violence, and drugs.
