Flava’ is concerned about the great amount of overweight kids in the U.S. We have developed a unique program to educate children to eat more fruits and vegetables a day while participating in dance. We offer a wide rage of classes such as hip hop, ballet, jazz, tap, modern, stomp, salsa, and tumbling.

At the beginning of each class our teachers discuss information about one fruit or vegetable with our students. For example we may talk about “Alex Apple” and ask the children how many different types of apples they think there are? Most kids may say two, but did you know there are 7,000 different types of apples? We then discuss what types of vitamins apples have, why they are good for our body, and different ways we can eat them. At the end of our dance class we do a “Flava’ Reminder” and ask our students some quiz questions to see if they remember what was discussed about Alex Apple.

The last class of every month students will receive a Flava’ calendar to document fruit and vegetable intake. We set a goal each month for our students to eat a certain amount of fruits and vegetables for that month. Students are encouraged to write down on their calendar what fruits or vegetables they eat. At the end of the month if they eat the goal amount of fruit and vegetable intake they will receive a gift from “Dole 5 A Day” or Flava‘.

Monthly Flava' Newsletters will be given to parents. The newsletter has healthily facts, encouragement, and fun recipes for the whole family. Our programs are designed to build self esteem, creativity, and knowledge of fruits and vegetables. We promise you will not find a dance class like this anywhere. We continue to build healthy people in America by bringing together people from all walks of life and unifying them through the beauty of dance and health.
