FLYworks Mission

The FLYworks mission is to promote youth dance programs as an artistic, fitness and character-building activity for Houston-area youth.

FLYworks believes that dance is a wonderful activity for youth--one that is fun, artistic, aerobic, athletic, character-building, and fun. But we believe that too many kids are excluded from it.

FLYworks staff concluded that ...

  • A dance style was needed that was proven, popular, entertaining, clean-cut, and easy to learn.

  • School P.E., dance, and after school programs would be the ideal way to reach the most kids.

  • Some teachers would need training to implement programs in their schools.

  • Dance training videos would be useful for teaching the dance style and choreography.

  • Once school programs were established, high-quality performing opportunities would be needed for showing created work to their peers.

  • Affordable summer dance camps would be needed keep kids involved until the fall.

  • Showcase performing groups would be needed to demonstrate both the dance style and quality FLYworks advocates.

We set about providing the dance style, teacher workshops and lecture/demonstrations, dance training videos, summer camp, youth dance festivals, and showcase performing groups.
