So you think you can dance?

Sonrisasenperu provides hip-hop, modern and breakdance classes for the kids at Westfalia Orphanage. Arguably they are the most popular class we provide to Westfalia, located in the hills of Cieneguilla on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. The kids are crazy about the classes, learning a lot and taking away more than just new dance moves.

We hire the dance teachers from the famous Angeles D-1dance group in Lima, itself a successful collaboration of street kids on dance scholarships. The kids can really relate to the young dance teachers and know that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. While the classes are a great way to learn new skills for the children of Westfalia Orphanage, they are also an amazing confidence builder. The kids take a sense of achievement and pride from the classes as well as a lot of fun!

We need your help to continue providing these classes as well as the other programs we run. Help us make a difference by clicking the donate button. Every dollar helps!
