"It's not only an outlet for dance, but also holistic support to give children the nourishment they need in all areas of their lives," said Cat Corral, co-founder and artistic/executive director.The organization welcomes young people from anywhere in the county with a focus on mid-city neighborhoods that include Logan Heights, Southeast San Diego, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley.

They include individual and group counseling, mentoring in leadership, and workshops in college preparation and career planning.
"transcenDANCE is like a family. You come here being able to fully express yourself, and not feeling judged at all," said Halene Lebaron, 15. She is one of the performers collaborating with professional artists to co-create the"Let Them: Bloom" performance on April 5 and 6."It's such an open environment and all the dancers are so dedicated and all the teaching artists are so dedicated. I really love the theme this year," she said.
