The BLHF recognizes that dance is a valuable tool in engaging youth in positive, community-based activities that they enjoy. Dance improves academic achievement, self-esteem, and social competence. The BLHF is committed to provide support for stellar jazz dance programs (groups or individuals), and instructors providing dance enrichment for youth of all ages. We seek instructors with programs that foster a nurturing environment that emphasizes a well- rounded and thorough approach to the art form, and more importantly, to life.

The BLHF is Happy to support Swing Dance Uganda and the work of Okurut George with young dancers in Kampala, Uganda
