About ABDZ!
AbunDANZA!, Inc is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded by dance choreographer and youth advocate Evelyn Diaz in 2010. Located in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California, AbunDANZA! is a youth led dance group from the community of Sun Valley, CA.
We are founded on the belief that early exposure to social etiquette through dance provides youth with key social skills and competences that promote cultural awareness, diversity, and healthy habits in youth that not only benefit them, but their families and communities as well.
AbunDANZA!, Inc was formed in response to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) budget cuts, eliminating after school program funding. This group now holds dance class for youth in their neighborhoods after school. The teen instructors of this group train in ballroom dance, dance production, latin dance, and swing three times a week when schedule permits. AbunDANZA! supports these youth in their effort to make a difference in their community by providing opportunities for them to hone their skills in dance, learn their craft, and perform it for their friends and families at community events.
