Nickerson-Rossi Dance has been providing scholarships so that the art of dance is attainable.
Their work has reached Los Angeles County, Chester County, the City of Philadelphia, San Diego County, New York City, and deep throughout Riverside County, and NRD continues on the path that they’ve set since 2013.
This isn’t just about dancing.
This is about providing outlets, bridges, and new perspectives. We want to open the eyes of youth to things they cannot see within their current surroundings.
NRD wants to be a helping hand to guide youth in their future and support from our community foundations and members will help achieve this.
