Earlier this summer, R.Evolución Latina - New York City's non-for-profit collective of artists and activists committed to inspiring growth within the Latino Community -- presented its second-annual "Dare To Go Beyond" Children's Performing Arts Camp.

This FREE three-day summer arts program for New York City youth took place Wednesday, July 29 through Friday, July 31, 2009 at Pearl Studios in midtown Manhattan.

This year's camp featured teaching artists from the Broadway production of In the Heights, The Lion King, Chicago and The Little Mermaid and many others. Camp instructors and teaching artists donate their time by providing expertise in an effort to support R.Evolución Latina children's programs to mentor the next generation of performing artists.

"I am proud to say that this year we reached double the amount of kids we reached last year through our Dare To Go Beyond' summer camp," said Gabriela Garcia, Co-Director of R.Evolución Latina and dance captain for Broadway's Chicago. "Last year, we started out by providing a one-day intensive camp and taking it to centers such as The Point and The Mercy Center. This year we were able to have all the kids together under one roof and provide them with three full days of programs. They had classes in voice, dance, acting, story telling and more. This year's camp served more than 100 kids."

R.Evolución Latina children's programs are developed to provide instruction in the arts as well as encourage personal growth through individual relationships with the students.

The "Dare To Go Beyond" Children's Performing Arts Camp is co-sponsored by Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS, Stay Inspired, 1849 Restaurant, Nike, Steps on Broadway, Capezio, Tezoro Productions and private donations.
