‘Dance for Life’…Etiquette training for girls

THE PROPER ETIQUETTE—A Second Chance, Gwen’s Girls and Three Rivers Youth came together to present a formal affair for Pittsburgh area youth. Many of the youth are in the foster care system.  The event, “Dance for Life,” took place Feb. 6 at the Rhonda D. Wright Family Center in Homewood. For several weeks, 27 young girls went through a variety of activities, including etiquette training, which led up to their debut at the “Dance for Life.”  Twenty-seven young men were selected to greet and escort the young ladies.  This was a first and unforgettable moment for many of these youth. Pictured above are four of the young ladies who enjoyed the dance. From left: Janyia McBroom, Kaylynn Hogan, Jacquelin Shepard and Shaneek Carson. (Photos by J. L. Martello)
