Moves & Grooves enriches the lives of youth by empowering them to discover their potential through academic achievement and the arts. Moves & Grooves seeks to inspire youth to create for themselves and to discover, learn, and, grow through the Arts. As a growing organization, Moves & Grooves is a testament to young people that using their talents to inspire others is one of the most powerful things that they can do in life, and using their gifts to serve others can be most rewarding. Their proven curriculum is fully STEAM-aligned, using the arts as a catalyst for success.
