| About Us ... |
Life Force Cultural Arts Academy is a non profit corporation that was established in 1991 and incorporated in 1997, to celebrate cultural diversity by presenting the finest in cultural performing arts to broaden the educational, social and artistic perspectives of an entire community of youth, adults and families. For almost twenty years, Life Force has provided programs and activities to thousands of youth, adults and families in and outside of the Tampa Bay Area.
The programs at Life Force provide youth with opportunities to explore the arts and develop skills they can use to express themselves in all aspects of their lives, now, and as they chart a course for their future. Studies have shown that art education, as an extension of the classroom and an academic resource, increases learning by enhancing math, reading and writing skills. Art education, expressed conceptually and practically in various forms and disciplines, stimulates intelligence in our youth during the school year, and throughout their summer hiatus.
Youth who take part in our programs achieve higher educational and personal aspirations through activities that reach beyond the classroom to identify and develop personal values and character building assets, increasing their effectiveness, resiliency, and academic performance. They are encouraged to set standards and try new and exciting things, youth are able to reduce at risk behavior by keeping busy and developing skills to make good decisions. They are able to explore several performing arts disciplines and develop skills through multiple learning concepts.
Our organization began truly as a grass roots organization providing cultural arts dance, drumming and folklore within community settings, organizations and facilities throughout the Tampa Bay area. Since the first dance class in 1991, our organization has developed to include an after school program, summer camp (2) performing arts ensembles, youth mentoring and employment program and a public performing arts and technology charter school.
