Writers Block, InK announces Hip Hop Dance Class

 
October 21, 2011, New London, CT…Writers Block, Ink, selected by multi-platinum singer-songwriter Josh Groban to receive a donation from his new Find Your Light Foundation, announces a free Hip Hop Dance Class with Liz Almanzar at The Writers Block Performing Arts Center in New London, CT.  Classes will meet Mondays and Thursday evenings from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM.  Classes are free and open to youth of all ages.
The mission of The Writers Block, Ink is to arm young voices with the power of pen, poetry and prose, reinforcing teamwork, accountability, and responsibility – igniting social change on the page and the stage.  The Writers Block Ink was started in 2003 as a 501c3 non-profit organization to encourage youth to use writing and performance as tools to address personal and social challenges on the community stage. Students from The Block create original plays with a strong emphasis on spoken word poetry and have performed on stages across Southeastern Connecticut. Courses are structured to guide students to improve skills in the performing arts including writing, acting, singing and dance, as well as to build self-confidence, leadership, and teamwork. The students conceive of an idea, develop a plot, create characters and evaluate character conflict, then write a final script, cast themselves, market, and ultimately perform their work for the community. The Writers Block, Ink's overall purpose is to empower youth to advance key skills through all aspects of the performing arts in order to enhance their lives, communities and the world.  For more information go to www.writersblockink.org.
