Maud visited some of our Chloé and Maud Foundation students at Casa Sāo José in Floripa, Brazil! We have a total of 80 students at this site and they're thriving - tap dancing and building self-esteem, community, and self-worth! Our visits to Brazil are always filled with such love, and we leave bursting with joy and pride!

We love to visit our Tap Into Life programs, and celebrate our students' wins! They work so hard every week with our incredible faculty, and honoring their growth inspires them to push even further!
"I love tap because we get to dance, have fun and we all love each other. I've learned to have fun, dont get upset, and everybody makes mistakes - just try your best!"

With deepest admiration and gratitude, we honored the one and only Mariah Carey, a deacon of light whose music has been a source of inspiration, strength, and a reminder of the power of the human spirit! We celebrate her incredible legacy and 30 year commitment to Camp Mariah with the Fresh Air Fund. She has transformed the lives of countless young people, providing unforgettable summer experiences that will forever be etched in their hearts. As Syncopated Ladies, we've had the privilege of being a part of these life-changing moments at camp, witnessing the spark of joy and potential in the eyes of these young people.

From DC Tap Fest to Sole Talk to Syncopated Ladies Apprentice and now, USC Graduate! Everything is possible with arts education! We are so proud of our brilliant mentee Ire - during her freshman year, she assisted Chloé and then appeared in Spirited starring Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, and Octavia Spencer, and in her senior year, we celebrated her second movie that she also assisted Chloé on Unfrosted! During her time at USC, she made her mark as Founder of the Black Career Fair and Founding member of the Cardinal Divas, USC's Majorette - team all while being a stellar student! Shine on, Ire!
Tap dancing is for everyone! We had the best time with our Tap Into Life assembly in Watts, California! Our program believes in creating tools for our youth to succeed in not only the art of Tap but also LIFE!
