FDP is a youth-serving nonprofit dedicated to the idea that artistic expression leads to transformative growth, Flex Dance Program is committed to helping students develop self-esteem, cooperation, and communication by transforming physical energy into positive, non-verbal self-expression that offers an alternative to conflict. We provide dance and mentoring opportunities to justice-involved youth in New York City, including opportunities to develop dances that tell their unique stories, perform at events, and join our team as youth ambassadors/interns. Since our founding, FDP has provided hundreds of justice-involved New York City youth with opportunities for growth, healing and creative expression through dance.
We know that creative outlets, particularly those for youth in difficult situations, have only become more needed during the pandemic. FDP continues to provide lessons virtually, while safely bringing lessons back to our partner detention and foster care centers and group homes, as public health restrictions allow.
