Annapolis, MD - 05/17/10 - Katie Carpenter, Studio 180 Dance's owner, artistic director and instructor, is now a D.A.R.E. Dance instructor. Carpenter just wrapped up this year's session with D.A.R.E., which culminated in an open house on May 11th at Mills Parole Elementary School. She "used the D.A.R.E. life skills and themes (anti-drug abuse, decision making, consequences, peer pressure, self control, self esteem, assertiveness, dealing with stress, respect, anti-violence, taking positive risks, positive alternatives, responsibility, accountability) to complement dance instruction."

Carpenter has had "such a wonderful experience sharing her love of dance to inspire healthy lifestyles to Annapolis' youth." Carpenter looks forward to continuing to work with D.A.R.E. next year! To read more about D.A.R.E. Dance's program, check out their website!
