About the program
Under the umbrella of the nonprofit Studio 878 Trust established by Naomi Turner, Adam in Chatham offers this program - Chance to Dance. The program subsidized by grants and charitable donations.
Generally, the pursuit of ballroom training is prohibitively expensive. It not only requires private training with a true professional, but dance shoes for growing feet, regulation dance wear, competition fees, and travel expenses. Adam in Chatham and Studio 878 Trust are helping to provide all of the above for young students, many of whom have extremely limited financial resources.
