ALL the RIGHT MOVES - BGCO's Youth Dance Program

ALL the RIGHT MOVES - BGCO's Youth Dance Program Enabling youth to develop their creativity and cultural awareness
through knowledge and appreciation of the performing arts.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland’s student-members will find an additional safe haven, in the dance studio, in the “ALL THE RIGHT MOVES” dance program. ATRM is a brand new top tier performing arts program in which the dancers—kids and teens, ages 6 to17—will be asked to take risks, meet high expectations, find opportunities for success, learn new skills, both practical and artistic, and allow space t

o celebrate each other’s movements and achievements. Through collaboration, problem solving, and communicating, the students will be trained to think critically and creatively, and to explore articulation, both physically and verbally as they observe movements/emotions and negotiate with other minds and bodies.

“Dancers are always figuring ways to improve themselves and metaphorically speaking, to change directions at the drop of a dime; to be flexible; to create material; and to improvise” says Yukie Fujimoto, ATRM’s Artistic Director who elaborated with “moreover, dance expresses real experiences–anger, joy, political views, spirit, and history or identity.” “Through dance, these deserving youth will have agency over their bodies and learn the joy of being physical, embodied, and ultimately become positive contributors and leaders within their respective communities.”
