Journey Arts

...It Begins with a Single Step

<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Dance 411 Foundation (formerly Journey Arts)</strong>&nbsp;mission is to foster the well being of urban youth and adults through self expression by providing quality education and exposure to the art and discipline of dance, drama, &amp; music. With strong roots in the East Atlanta Community, the Dance 411 Foundation was established in 2004 as the Journey Arts Program.</p> <p>A dancer all her life, Journey Art&rsquo;s Founder and Artistic Director Samara Michelle, M Ed., wanted to create a safe place where children can have access to life skills education through different performing arts programs.</p> <p>Over the years, Journey Arts has partnered with a number of local and national organizations, including the Fulton County Arts Council, the Lighthouse Foundation,&nbsp; and Wachovia Bank.&nbsp; Recently the program has gained primary support from Dance 411 Studios.</p> <p>Dance 411 Studio founders Sindy and Edward Schneider have been offering community programs in the form of studio scholarships, donated space and senior programming since the studio began.</p> <p>The newly formed Dance 411 Foundation offers the community&nbsp; two primary programs. The first, the&nbsp;<a title="Atlanta ArtSpace" href="http://dance411foundation.org/atlanta-artspace">Journey Arts After School&nbsp; &amp; Outreach Program</a>, geared to take our quality programs in the forms of performances, workshops and classes, to Atlanta area schools and organizations.
