Monica and Lately, two passionate dancers, have been working together to create a community of dancers in Northern Virginia. The Virginia Dance Coalition (VADC) is a collaboration of dance organizations, dance educators, professional dancers, and choreographers that has been in existence for many years. It is open to all dance organizations and individuals interested in supporting and promoting the dance arts. At VADC, dancers are trained and educated in dance history, kinesiology, French vocabulary, and music theory.
This allows them to obtain a complete and healthy dance repertoire. The coalition also provides an environment where everyone is important, friendships are made, bonds are strengthened, and families are nourished. The oversexualization of dance has become a major issue in the dance world. This has led to injuries that scar young bodies for life and an unhealthy pressure to overcome body postures. Monica and Lately are working together to train brilliant dancers by raising them in a dance community where everyone matters. Monica grew up in Cincinnati dancing competitively and then went on to a brief professional dance career before realizing that she was born to teach and create a community.
After sharing equipment for a few months, it was quickly recognized that both had a dream embedded deep in their guts that they would one day own their own dance studio. The Virginia Dance Coalition is dedicated to providing a safe space for dancers of all ages and backgrounds to come together and learn from each other. Through their efforts, they hope to create an environment where everyone can feel accepted and respected. They also strive to provide resources for dancers to help them reach their full potential. The coalition works with local schools and organizations to provide classes, workshops, and events that promote the art of dance. The Virginia Dance Coalition is also committed to fighting the oversexualization of dance by providing education on body positivity and healthy body image.
They strive to create an environment where dancers can express themselves without fear of judgement or criticism. They also work with local organizations to provide resources for dancers who may be struggling with body image issues. Monica and Lately have been working hard to bring the Virginia Dance Coalition into the spotlight. They have been featured in local newspapers and magazines as well as on television shows. They have also been invited to speak at conferences around the country about their mission of creating a safe space for dancers. Monica and Lately have also been working with local politicians to advocate for more funding for the arts.
They have been successful in getting more funding for the arts in Northern Virginia, which has allowed them to expand their reach even further. They hope that by working together with local politicians they can continue to make progress towards their goal of creating a safe space for all dancers. The Virginia Dance Coalition is an inspiring example of how two passionate individuals can come together to create something bigger than themselves. Monica and Lately have worked tirelessly to create a safe space for dancers of all ages and backgrounds. Through their efforts, they hope to create an environment where everyone can feel accepted and respected.
