Dancing in the Streets Arizona is a not-for-profit organization founded in August 2008 by Salpointe High graduate Joey Rogers and his wife, fellow dancer, Soleste Lupu Rogers. The two use the excitement and discipline of ballet to guide children and at-risk youth as they work to achieve life skills, and to promote an interest in the art of dance within the local community.
The studio has no paid staff and relies upon the generosity of donors to provide full and partial scholarships to more than half its students. The professionally equipped studio is located at 88 W. 38th Street, Suite 200 in South Tucson.
