Why do we do Framing Dance? A 2012 video.
WHAT IS FRAMING DANCE?

Special thanks to our awesome partners:
The Hobby Center for Performing Arts Discovery Series
This program is supported in part by the Houston Endowment, Inc.
Framing Dance was created in 2007 by Karen Stokes at the request of the Hobby Center's Discovery Series. In 2010, Framing Dance was accepted as a special program partner with Young Audiences of Houston.
SPECIAL REQUEST:
From 2010-2012, over 6000 students in the greater Houston region have attended the Framing Dance Discovery Series. Over 85% of the students are from economically disadvantaged areas of the city.
The special event is offered free of charge to schools & students but is not free of cost. Individual donations help us to continue to bring the world dance to students. Please consider making a donation to KSD today.
