Bringing Dance Back Into Schools
The Positive Energy Arts Foundation (PEAF), co-founded by Thomas K. Flagg in 2011, is dedicated to reintroducing dance programs into schools nationwide. From pilot programs in Harrisburg to outreach in urban and underserved communities, PEAF aims to enrich students' lives through dance.
Venturing into the worst school districts in Pennsylvania, where arts programs are scarce, PEAF noticed an alarming eradication of the arts. Over the past 10 years, our initiatives have impacted over 100,000 students, providing opportunities for artistic expression, physical activity, and personal growth. Our programs foster creativity, discipline, and teamwork skills, contributing to the holistic development of students across the nation.
These programs have impacted over 100,000 students, to date.
