Inside of the studios at iibada Dance Company in Indianapolis, dancers are learning how to express themselves. Leaders say dancing helps the kids they serve build confidence.

Iibada dancers and alumni say they are part of a family, one that focuses on the overall well being of every dancer.'It's been really good being able to be around people that I've grown up with and have someone I can call a family and a home,' Zora Tucker Edmonds said.

'I came here when I was 11 years old and I danced here until I went to college and then I came back to teach when I had my own children,' Clark said.Iibada Dance Company was chosen this summer to receive a community support grant from Impact 100. The organization received an $11,000 grant from the charitable women's giving organization. The funding is helping to pay for mental health professionals and upgrades to their dance studios.
