Ballet shoes used by students are seen at the Dance Centre Kenya studio in Nairobi on November 12, 2023. Dance Centre Kenya (DCK) has grown to become Kenya's pre-eminent and most diverse dance school with a commitment to teaching talented dancers, irrespective of their ability to pay for training. DCK's sponsorship plan in schools and informal settlements has already affected the lives of many aspiring dancers from disadvantaged backgrounds, some of them engaging in training programmes abroad with renowned international ballet schools.
