Over the weekend cops were called to Leslie Sapp’s San Antonio house over a noise complaint and what happened next is something no one ever expected.
Instead of the police officer shutting down the Next Generation Dance Crew, an organization dedicated to inspiring and encouraging the youth to express themselves through dance, party, he asked the DJ to play a song that he liked. Then he went on the dance floor and did his best Salsa moves. Not only delighting Sapp and the kids including her daughter at the party, he also changed their views of law enforcement. Sapp told KSAT, “As a parent, especially these days, there is a lot of negativity in the world when it comes to cops, and he broke that stereotype. He didn’t have to take his time to do that and could have just (gone) in and shut it down.”
Proving that only does dance inspire and encourage kids to express themselves, it also breaks down barriers. Therefore, instead of hands across America, let’s have dance across America! Maybe this way we can get along because we need it more than we have had in over 50 years.
