Our classroom teachers have enjoyed watching their student's self-esteem grow every week. The lessons on responsibility and cooperation have allowed the students to learn to work as a team. This dance program is definitely a vehicle for teaching positive self-image, as well as cognitive and social skills, to our students.”
Jesus Medina
Principal, Hawkins Elementary		   “Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to experience the joy that only dance and music can bring. They are forever changed because of Kids Excel El Paso's classes. KEEP us dancing!”
Rebecca Mares
Bilingual Teacher
Roosevelt Elementary		   “Every Friday the children were energized, as well as me, their teacher. The rapport between instructors and students was full of respect and caring. My students feel a close bond to these instructors. The skills my students learned are priceless. I constantly reinforce the lessons KEEP teaches on excellence, never giving up, supporting each other, the art of listening and following directions, and not being afraid to try new things. I learned skills as well. KEEP definitely teaches social behaviors and values. My students learned that they all need to do well in order for the group to succeed. They learned to cheer for one another and to encourage those having difficulty learning their steps. It was all a very positive and thrilling learning experience.”
