Ballet Legato is proud to partner with the Drug Enforcement Agency of Cleveland to bring a free after school dance program to interested students in an effort to give students a chance to explore drug-free lifestyles through dance.
Ballet Legato will provide these 20-week Outreach programs called DEA 360 throughout Lorain and Cuyahoga Counties.
DEA’s 360 Strategy responds to the heroin and prescription opioid pill crisis. The 360 Strategy takes an innovative three-pronged approach to combating heroin/opioid use through: (1) coordinated Law Enforcement actions against drug cartels and heroin traffickers in specific communities; (2) Diversion Control enforcement actions against DEA registrants operating outside the law and long-term engagement with pharmaceutical drug manufacturers, wholesalers, pharmacies, and practitioners; and (3) Community Outreach through local partnerships that empower communities to take back affected neighborhoods after enforcement actions and prevent the same problems from cropping up again.
We’re excited to work with students in our community and bring the joy of dance to the area youth.
