Physical Therapy Equipment Fund

The Description
With these funds I will...
Purchase 5 foam rollers, 5 medicine balls, and an equipment rack for my deserving students at Bright Star School.
The funds will directly impact my students by allowing immediate relief and decrease stiffness after dance classes. Students can distress and continue to enjoy the remainder of their school day. Our students at Bright Star deserve the best of the best. Please help my students secure the benefits of having excellent fitness equipment at our school. When we feel pain, our first inclination is to massage that spot directly; however, this might be a big mistake.
Research shows that a massage can reduce stiffness and soreness by more than 40%, but we found an even better (and cheaper!) way to banish aches: a foam roller.
Many trainers and physical therapists call this inexpensive, long tube their secret weapon against pain.
Similar to an old-fashioned rubdown, using a roller breaks up fibrous tissue and boosts circulation so you're less sore.
Medicine balls can help improve muscular power and sports performance. The balls can be thrown and caught making for explosive medicine ball movements that can improve overall athletic ability.
Please take a look at the equipment I would like to provide my students.
(5) Foam Rollers @ $44.99 each
(5) Medicine Balls @ $31.99 each
Back Up Plan
If I don't meet my goal I will purchase fewer resources and continue to distress using stretching techniques.
About the Creator
I developed a passion for dance early in my career where I attended a Sacramento Performing Arts High School. I dedicated my childhood to the art, studying at Step One Dance & Fitness, Dean Dance Center, and Marguerite Phares Ballet School.
My passion for the art continued, as a teaching artist for the Music Center: Performing ArtsCenter of Los Angeles County.
Hard work, dedication, and persistence provided me the opportunity to be featured in a variety of arts genres, receiving professional credits in Television- National H&R block commercial, an A Magazine story, Sierra in peril; Theatre- Pasadena Playhouse “Ray Charles Live”, Disney’s "Beauty and the Beast", "Footloose", and "Got Rhythm!".
This memorable experience has helped shape my deep love for teaching. I was given a gift and granted the opportunity to become
teacher for United Spirit Association, master teacher for Natomas Charter School, Galena Street East School, and Orlando Ballet School.
I developed a dance curriculum with the idea of exposing children to the art of dance, entitled, Art Saves Lives aligned with State Standards for the Arts and utilized in 2009 by the Inglewood School District.
I have also had the opportunity to train at the school of The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre in New York.
I am currently an Educator of Dance at Bright Star Secondary Academy, where I act as educational leader for students participating in extra-curricular dance activities, develop curriculum, design classroom culture, collaborate with Arts colleagues on arts related related functions with the School, coordinate auditions, plan field trips dedicated to understanding the art of dance, and coordinate and facilitate recruiting for the dance program.
