L2R BELIEVES IN ONE LANGUAGE ... DANCE!
L2R Dance is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to harnessing the power of hip-hop to strengthen our community through belonging, wellbeing and leadership in the arts.
We believe dance has the power to breakdown social barriers and create meaningful connections for children and young people experiencing financial or social challenges.
This workshop is being offered free for all participants, acknowledging the extreme impact COVID-19 is having on our community.
