My experience has been one of a kind, and I cannot put into words how special these programs are. In a fun, safe and healthy environment, you get pushed to be the best artist you can be. I have stepped out of my comfort zone, and learned so many new parts of myself.

I had the most uplifting experience with Dance4Hope! The energy and love of the instructors was contagious. As soon as I walked into the space and followed their incredible lead on the dance floor, I felt safe, understood, and free to express myself through movement without fear of judgment.

Everyone got a chance to explore their talents and have notes on how to improve and I am a living testimony that I’ve used this advice all these past years. Genuinely grateful for having these mentors that still help me in my artistic life. I don’t have a doubt that I can reach them when I need them but most importantly, how loving and caring they are.

We've done everything from share what we're grateful for and what our superpowers are, to learning choreography and dancing our hearts out to salsa music. I'll never forget the time we grooved to Brujeria by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. Or when one of our members actually co-taught a class with Hope.

Every year they come to Puerto Rico, I always participate to learn something new. People like Hope, still believe there is talent in this island. I thank Dance 4 Hope for each class, each feedback and for always saying to never give up, because in this industry I have nothing to prove, only to share.
