CDB Enrichment Programs
Cora Dance’s Local Enrichment Program Partnerships offer dance-based programs to a broader population in locations throughout the Red Hook community. Bringing dance to schools, community centers, and public spaces, Cora partners with other organizations to expose all ages to arts enrichment offerings and connect those demonstrating talent, interest, and desire for more serious study with Cora’s Training Programs. Cora has offered ongoing programs throughout Red Hook at PAVE Academy Charter School, PS676, PS15, the Miccio Community Center, South Brooklyn Community HS, and the Red Hook Senior Center and frequently brings open community classes to festivals, celebrations, and community events year-round!
