THE POWER OF YES. Every kid has a gift to share. Over the course of our weeks together they become captivated by the creative process and discover the pleasure of movement, dance, theater, themselves, and…each other!
EVERY STORY SHINES!
CREATING OPPORTUNITY
What Does Reaching

SETTING UP SUCCESS
Throughout the year, Turning the Wheel offers free, introductory classes in local schools and after-school programs. These demos give you a chance to see what we can do and then you can sign up for a program in your school.
It means setting our kids and teens up for success by giving them a chance to be seen, and to lead and take risks in a safe and supportive environment.
