After her very first dance class, Keeleigh became hooked on dance and loved performing for crowds when “she felt like all the other kids.” The COVID-19 outbreak forced Keeleigh to isolate as a high-risk individual, but she was able to dance and interact with teachers and friends through livestreamed classes. COVID, unfortunately, also caused a change in her parents’ employment status; they could no longer afford classes. With Allied Arts funding, Aspiring Attitudes provides Keeleigh’s family with financial aid to continue her pursuit of feeling “so proud” and to “fit in.”
