IDEAS

This is an activity that boys and girls can do that would be after school would take place in a church or school. This dance group could be very inexpensive or free to its attendees. The poms would belong to the group to be passed out each class. Music could be chosen based on their given heritages and preferences. The dancers could make their own costumes and could preform at community evens such as the farmers market, soccer games, parades, ect. This is how these young children would learn what it is like to be on stage and feel what a high it gives you to feel confident.This could also involve the parent through father daughter dances and mother daughter dances and classes.

This is a kind of obscured idea but if there were 2 ports where residents can rent either an electric car to go to the grocery store, dr, or where ever they needed then you put them back and plug them in.
