he mission of the After School Dance Fund (ASDF) is to provide artistic, technical and �nancial support for the establishment of After School Latin Dance Programs in Montgomery County Public Schools (“MCPS”). ASDF o�ers its programs in an e�ort to combat the troubling prevalence

of preventable social and health issues in the Latino community, including cultural awareness, childhood obesity, teen domestic violence prevention, teen pregnancy, high rates of high school drop-outs, and the devastating in�uence of gangs in our communities. The ASDF initiative aims to create a permanent space for participating MCPS students to be involved in a positive group activity with their peers after school.

Participants in the After School Dance Program learn to showcase popular Latin dances with choreographed performances and also see the importance of living a healthy mental and physical life style. To this end, dance becomes a vehicle for increased cultural awareness and pride, while fostering exercise and having fun. It is the goal of the ASDF that these learned qualities will help each student become a more con�dent person, leading them to excel in academics and paving their way into higher education.

For more information contact Ricardo Loaiza at Ricardo@afterschooldancefund.org or call 301-538- 8824. Thanks and please visit our page at www.afterschooldancefund.org

ASDF would like to recognized the following students for demonstrating leadership qualities within their group during school year 2014-2015.
