Creating safe spaces through dance.
Slum to Stage Partners with SHUSHI and Create My Future Foundation
Spreading Smiles Through the #Dance4Smile Program

As we continue to transform lives through dance, and now, in partnership with SHUSHI and Create My Future Foundation, we are taking their mission to new heights. Together, we are working to establish safe spaces for children and young adults, where they can learn dance, build confidence, and develop essential social-emotional skills that will shape their future.
With this partnership, we are ensuring that children from underserved communities have access to structured dance education, where they can not only refine their artistic talents but also learn valuable life skills like discipline, teamwork, and emotional resilience.
Safe Spaces Matter
Many children face challenges such as violence, neglect, or lack of access to creative outlets. By creating environments where they feel secure and supported, Slum to Stage, SHUSHI, and Create My Future Foundation are offering them a chance to thrive beyond their circumstances. These safe spaces serve as refuges of hope, where young people can express themselves freely and gain a sense of belonging.
This partnership is not just about teaching dance—it’s about creating a ripple effect of positive change in communities in Abuja. As children and young adults develop newfound confidence and skills, they become leaders, role models, and advocates for change in their own spaces. By investing in these safe spaces, Slum to Stage, SHUSHI, and Create My Future Foundation are helping to reshape the narrative for future generations.
