"One of the best enrichment programs for children! Their programs offer a culturally responsive enrichment program to students in grades K-12 and is designed to engage all students. The program supports students in understanding rhythm, learning map skills, practicing their performance skills, and engaging in critical thinking. The teaching artists are masterful in their craft in tandem with bringing joy to all students!"
