TESTIMONIALS

Karen Reynolds, Principal, Short Avenue Elementary School

"Through dance, Conga Kids empowers children by boosting their self-confidence and self-expression. It helps them discover their unique talents and abilities, fostering a sense of accomplishment and personal growth. It is truly a wonderful program!"

"Cynthia has poured her heart and soul into dancing for months, and being here tonight (LA Live, May 18, 2023) means the world to her. The program has taught her more than just dance moves; it has given her valuable life skills that will benefit her in the future. She also had a blast along the way."
