As the only community service dance company at Penn, Sparks is committed to utilizing dance to improve the quality of life of individuals in the Greater Philadelphia region. This semester, we are excited to try something new and raise money for the Kardon Center for Arts Therapy. Creative arts therapy offers something for everyone, whether you are a child experiencing developmental delays/disabilities, a teen struggling with anxiety or bullying, or an adult seeking coping strategies to process a loss or recent life transition. We can all benefit from the power of music, art, and dance/movement therapy. This feels especially important now, as March is developmental disabilities awareness month. Art therapy has proven to be a valuable tool for individuals with developmental delays and disabilities, improving communication, self-expression, and confidence and reducing anxiety and stress. We greatly appreciate any donations!
