Summary edit

Description

The musical Beauty and the Beast is performed for coalition forces at Forward Operating Base Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan by members of the Kabul Dance Studio of Kabul. The studio is affiliated with the International School of Kabul, which is funded by a US aid grant. The dance studio consist of about 70 percent afghan students and the remainder are comprised of children of UN workers, contractors and teachers of ISK. The program is open to all.

Erin Jenson started the studio in 2008 as a way to get women in Kabul involved in a country that doesn’t offer much outside the basic needs of life. The initial thought was to teach a couple of classes, but the program quickly blossomed form a handful of students to more than 80 in the first year. The local community has shown great interest despite any language and cultural differences. Some of the students learn by watching the dance moves because they can’t speak English.

The family of five has spent three years in country, “ Some days its like OK this isn’t so bad and other days you think what am I doing here. It’s pretty intense!” said Jenson. “Its just good for people to see there are positive things going on in the country.” She thinks that people see the news with all the violence going on and they think it is all about military force and they don’t see the training and positive steps being taken.
