"My first time doing Tapas was as a favor for a friend. I watched during the course of the night how proud and excited the kids were to perform. Hearing their stories of how Groove With Me had impacted their lives, I knew by the end of the evening I would continue to do the event as long as they would have me! It's great to see their love of dancing and expression and I love to help in the small way I can."
