Ritmo Creciente (Rhythm Rising Kids) Age 9 years – 11 years

In our dance classes designed for children aged 9 to 11, we introduce them to the lively realms of salsa, bachata, and reggaetón. These sessions focus on enhancing coordination through the joy of music and dance while fostering creativity and self-expression. Our engaging and interactive lessons empower children to overcome stage fright and encourage improvisation, ultimately boosting their confidence both on and off the dance floor.

Being healthy is so important to enable learning and building a positive and engaging community.

Basic Needs

Basic needs are defined as something that we must have in order to live. Recognizing that our students cannot thrive when they may be worried about basic necessities, this section provides resources across the community where essential services and supports can be found.

Early Childhood

Early childhood education not only prepares our youngest students to be in school, but also supports the development of a child’s social and emotional skills.

Boys & Girls Club of Manchester strongly support the efforts of Manchester Proud. Manchester’s schools are our shared responsibility as a community. Manchester Proud is our city’s first truly community-wide movement to engage us all in creating a vision of what we want our kids to know and be able to do, then, guided by that vision, designing a plan for what our schools should be. We’re proud to be strong supporters!

We feel so blessed! Raising our grandsons is wonderful, but they cost an arm and a leg. It has been so helpful to receive financial aid to send them to the Club. We are so grateful.
