Dance For Life has well over 40 members who participate on Mondays and perform at various functions throughout the Greater Lansing area. One of our most significant accomplishments is our Youth Program which has been a part of our group for the past three (3) years and practice and perform between April and November. Youth practice sessions are held every Thursday from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the Black Child and Family Institute where the youth are taught Hustles, Ballroom and Chicago Step. Our Youth Group consists of over 30 participants and is asked each year to perform at various community events. Last year's Dance For Life Youth Group was featured on three (3) occasions in local newspapers and was asked by the Lansing Mayor’s Office to perform at the Public Safety Career Day which took place on November 3, 2007.
