In its 13th year, the Rotary Youth Arts Program, delivered by Dancehouse and CCP, offers free, empowering, hands-on arts experiences for young people, teaching life skills such as team work, creativity and confidence. In 2016, Dancehouse invited 2015 Housemate/Artist in Residence Sarah Aiken to lead the dance workshops, leading toward a performance for friends, family and Rotary and school communities.
 
RYAP is a Dancehouse Community Outreach Project, supported by the the Rotary Club of Richmond and in partnership with the Centre for Contemporary Photography.
