Para 1.20 | The performance “Life out of Lockdown” was very successful in raising money for Art of Music Foundation/Ghetto Classics Kenya. It also benefitted the young dancers taking part in the performance by giving them an opportunity to work with professional dancers and be together on stage again following lockdown. The audience also benefitted by having the opportunity to reflect on their lockdown experiences and it reunited the community following lockdown. There was a positive vibe of celebration amongst all involved, which brought people confidence to put lockdown behind them and look to the future. Dance students in Kenya benefitted from donations towards their training so that better |
teachers can be provided for them and the opportunity to develop dance technique and creative skills as well as social support through the program at Art of Music Foundation Kenya/Ghetto Classics Kenya.
