continues! 🥐 Here’s Sarah Betancourt ‘20, one of our project leaders. “This summer I spent six weeks interning at a nonprofit in Paris, where I taught English through creativity and the arts! It was truly a dream job. On the weekends I enjoyed Parisian food, culture, and sights - and even got to take a few dance classes! I can’t wait to be back with our CitySteppers this fall!” 💃 @ Paris, France

Interested in learning more about CityStep Princeton? Want to meet our fun members? Come hang out with us at 8:30 PM tonight in Little 57! This is our first meeting of the year and is simply informational, not binding. We want to get to you know you!
As many of you move into your dorms tomorrow, consider the many ways you might form ties to communities beyond the Orange Bubble during your time at Princeton! CityStep Princeton aims to create a space for children who may not otherwise have access to arts education to benefit from exposure to the performing arts. We believe that guiding kids to think and move creatively is an indispensable component of their intellectual, emotional, and physical development.
All Princeton students are welcome to volunteer and *no dance or theater experience is required.* Check out citystepprinceton.weebly.com for more information and feel free to email [email protected] and [email protected] with any questions.
Kicked off classes last week! Our students are AWESOME!! Looking forward to more whooshes and whoas tomorrow with our Community House middle schoolers at the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding.
(The Whoosh! theater game is one of our fun warm-ups: http://www.bbbpress.com/2013/05/whoosh/)
