ny children in Palestine suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Through dance, children can develop their imaginations and find the courage to think in creative ways to cope with, and ultimately overcome, the troubles and obstacles they face each day. Through dance and theatre children will develop their thoughts and imagination. In this safe space, children will be provided an opportunity to devote their energy to hard work and creative development, instead of violence and the bad energy that they witness every day. Children will have the opportunity to visit a professional arts school; a place in which they would be able to think and act freely and normally. Through the arts children will open their minds and thoughts. This will be possible with professional educated teachers and dancers from around the world. By drawing professionals from around the world, children will be exposed to different ideas and cultures, as the performing arts in the Middle East are not strongly supported. There are only a few people in Palestine currently working in this field. This school will grow a base of young cultural leaders in Palestine. Our vision is to provide children a professional place to think, dance and act, with a caring and loving atmosphere. Palestinian youth need art as a means to grow and develop. Through dancing, acting, and drama therapy children will be given a peace of mind to think in the positives ways. They will use these skills to develop our society, ultimately living and dealing with people in peace.
