Through dance, the NEW ERA ENTERTAINMENT (NEE) group is seeking to give hope to youths who are vulnerable to suicide, crime, domestic violence, prostitution, drug abuse, and other prevalent social ills.
The group operates with belief that youths should be given opportunities to enjoy the freedom of discovering their natural talents, to learn how to be good team players, and how to compete professionally in any industry that has the potential to transform their lives mentally, socially and economically.
