About the provider

Since 2005, SBDI has enriched the lives of 30,000+ audience members, 27,000+ children, and 80+ teachers through direct programming and professional development. SBDI’s mission is to help all individuals foster tenacity, a standard of excellence, and a belief in oneself that will carry over into all aspects of life. The organization works with community organizations with little to no arts programming and builds intentional partnerships with community organizations accountable to residents where arts education is lacking.

SBDI’s approach emphasizes community, connection, accessibility, culturally responsive outreach, and direct communication with families. The organization offers inclusive dance programming and professional development.

What families say

“I think the SBDI program has a remarkable effect on kids. Rosalina Macisco has a presence and a talent and a good way with kids. They “rise to the occasion” and focus on the tasks she lays out for them at their ability level. Everyone is supported and valued by Ms. Macisco and she is valued in return.” — Barbara Johnson - Solvang Elementary School
