Over the years, Dance Centre Kenya (DCK) has evolved into Kenya's foremost diverse dance school. Central to its mission is a dedication to instructing gifted dancers, regardless of their financial capacity to afford training. Through DCK's innovative sponsorship initiatives implemented in schools and informal settlements, the organization has significantly impacted the lives of numerous aspiring dancers hailing from disadvantaged backgrounds.
