Education with Dance Seeds of Talent Stratum Convergence space aimed at children and teenagers from vulnerable populations of the city, who study in public schools and live in historical and extreme poverty neighborhoods. Some of them have been victims of forced displacement or sexual abuse and exploitation. El Colegio del Cuerpo has been an oasis where they have discovered their bodies as source of expression, communication, personal overcoming, respect towards human diversity, transcendence, artistic vocation, essential and creative learnings for community life. Education with Dance Groups Children from 7 – 8 years old initiate a process of body sensibility awakening, approximation to the basics of Contemporary Dance language, revelation of creativity and discovery of expression through movement. Formation intensity: 3 hours and 30 minutes a week. The pedagogical process is accomplished during their free time from the academic school schedule including Saturdays, with the support of public and private entities, whose missions converge with the principles of eCdC, contributing to the development of childhood and adolescence, being both, the soil where dreams and hope in the future are revealed and cultivated. Likewise, the generosity of visionary people strengthens the cause by assuming the sponsorship of the kids.
