Vogt Engineering Supports Dancing Thru Life

February 17, 2022

Dancing Thru Life: a nonprofit organization in our community

Dancing Thru Life strengthens the emotional and physical well-being of our entire community through dance. They provide dance programs that build confidence, promote healthy lifestyles, and bolster countless other skills that empower all ages, especially our youth, to have a successful life.


They accomplish this by offering free dance classes at schools and at assisted living facilities. In thanks to generous donors, free classes are offered to students at schools with a high population of economically disadvantaged families. When students advance to competitions, sponsors continue to help the students thrive by assisting with registration fees, costumes, and travel expenses.


Due to the COVID pandemic and restrictions, many places have stopped allowing outside programming; but, Dancing Thru Life has been able to further their mission by hosting students in small settings at Fred Astaire Dance Studios. They continue to explore partnerships with local school districts and assisted living facilities for ways to engage and support the student dancers during this pandemic.


To sustain their dance skills, financially support their college dreams, and help create their professional futures, the young adults at Dancing Thru Life are given opportunities to intern for college credit as well as opportunities to pay it forward by volunteering within the Early Development Program and Honor Years Program.

 

Dancing is Fun

It’s no secret that listening to and feeling music move through you can evoke emotions. Whether ballroom dancing or bobbing your head and strumming the steering wheel in the car, dancing is fun.  You can dance as a form of exercise, as a hobby, as a form of expressive art or you can even dance to embarrass your kids! No matter your age, there are many benefits to dance. Dancing is a great way to foster creativity, enhance emotional development, and spur friendships. Dancing can also reduce stress, improve flexibility and agility, as well as help with balance and weight loss.


Dance brings people together and provides them a sense of community with people that have the same interests and passion. Here are ways you can support Dancing Thru Life:

  2. Share their content.
  3. Contribute to their mission with a monetary donation.

Vogt Engineering Celebrates National Bike Month

By Tiffany Marascio • May 17, 2024
May is National Bike Month, but Vogt Engineering celebrates and encourages biking all year. Our team enjoys using our office bikes to get out and experience nature, taking advantage of our central location in The Woodlands Town Center. About National Bike Month National Bike Month, after many previous iterations, was officially established in 1956. Today, National Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists , which incorporates accessible ways to start biking by hosting smaller experiences such as National Bike to Work Week (usually held the third week of May), and Bike to Work Day (usually that Friday). Health Benefits According to the Harvard School of Public Health , biking can help “improve mental health by lowering stress levels and stimulating feel-good endorphins.” Other health benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness stronger muscles greater coordination and general mobility reduced body fat Vogt's Commitment to our Team and the Environment One of Vogt Engineering’s major considerations when looking for an office was easily accessible trails for riding bikes and walking. We are fortunate to have found a great place to be with our great team of people. Not only is biking and being outdoors good for mental and physical health, but we value working with the environment in everything we do. Although many civil engineering projects require earth movement, Vogt is committed to finding solutions that complement the natural surroundings of the site. Get Involved There are many local entities that organize Bike Month events, including The Woodlands, Harris County Precinct 3 (at Burroughs Park), and more.
