The Dancing Shoes Project

Jordan, pictured in the center, is one of Amy's many students who has a passion for ballroom dance. To support his efforts and those living on the autism spectrum, the iAmYes! Foundation has established a continued partnership with FaceAutism through the ballroom dance classes offered at Dynasty Dance Clubs in Lakewood Ranch. These classes emphasize the importance of expressing oneself through dance, which in turn builds confidence and strengthens the connection between mind and body. Students explore a variety of styles, including the Tango, Rumba, Waltz, Salsa, and Free Style combinations. This ongoing sponsorship is in loving memory of Amy's mom, Marilyn Friedman, who cherished dancing and advocating for support autism awareness.
