Results: Since establishing our presence in the St. Louis City area in 2017, We've instituted a Pilot LWDA I. A. E. Program at the Mathews-Dickey Boys' & Girls' Club. We have established an amazing partnership with the We Rock The Spectrum Kids Gym in St. Ann, MO, delivering creative sensory-mathematical movement classes that assist students with developmental disabilities. We have established our after school LWDA Innovative Arts Education Program at Flex Studio in historic South Grand, where students are able to safely take Dance Education classes mastering their Art. They are able to develop their technique, healthier physical fitness, healthier eating habits, greater concentration, increased intelligence in World Cultures, and a sense of self-respect and self worth. All of these facets are paramount, in sustaining mentorship, in an effort to eliminate drop-out rates among the youth. We have also successfully partnered with The Home Depot and Lowe's, for our Shared Youth Service and Family Self Sufficiency/Agricultural Learning Initiative. Wherever there is a need, LWDA will fill it and surpass it.
