Expressive Arts

Expressive arts programs use cultural and performing arts as therapeutic tools to help children and youth regulate trauma and address social injustice. Through African and African-Brazilian dance, Capoeira, and group drumming, participants connect to their heritage while expressing personal stories and emotions in a safe, supportive setting. 

The rhythmic and creative nature of these activities supports emotional healing, physical fitness, and social skills, especially for youth who struggle to put their feelings into words. This program nurtures self-confidence, discipline, and resilience while providing a meaningful connection to culture and community.
