A BIT ABOUT US

Centro Integral de las Artes (CIArt) and Danza Téllez (DT), in collaboration with Gala de Danza (GDD), began the project Danza que da Esperanza (DQDE), “Dance that Gives Hope", to offer a cultural education to children and young people with artistic talent who are living in vulnerable socioeconomic conditions in Los Cabos, Mexico.​

The program offer full scholarships to selected students that receive dance, art and English language classes. They also receive academic and psychological counseling and meals for the children.

The yearly auditions and selection of applicants are carried out on public school grounds. Currently the program has only children that go to school in the afternoon and attend DQDE from lunch time on.
