As a board member of A Step Beyond, I’ve had the privilege of seeing the organization’s impact up close. ASB's long-term commitment to students sets it apart—providing ten years of support through dance education, academic enrichment, and family services. This isn’t a short-term program; it’s a pathway to opportunity, growth, and self-confidence for often underserved youth. The staff's dedication and the students' joy and resilience are constant reminders of why this work matters. Being part of this mission is both an honor and a responsibility, and I wholeheartedly encourage others to learn more about the powerful work happening at A Step Beyond.
A Step Beyond's youth participated in The San Diego Youth Dance Festival and were beautiful to witness! They were inclusive and generous as they interacted with students from other schools and dance groups, and they danced beautifully on stage. A Step Beyond provides youth access to free after school dance programming - many of whom would not be dancing if it were not for this program. Congratulations on creating an exemplary representation of the creative youth development field.
