About Us

Founded and led by Kyra Johnson, a life-long dancer and educator, InVision U is women/minority owned and run. Our aim is to promote self-esteem, empowerment, confidence, empathy, kindness and grace through structured programs and activities – primarily utilizing the medium of dance instruction and primarily focused on the vulnerable population of girls and young women of color. InVision U realizes that the cost of dance classes and cultural education is often prohibitive for those it needs it most. Therefore the mission of InVision U is to support NBPAS as its leaders aspire to provide the youth of New Rochelle with a nurturing, safe space, from which they can gain the self-esteem and confidence to achieve their highest, personal goals. More concretely, InVision U and NBPAS aim to make our dance and our other health & wellness classes affordable for those who need it most and we scale tuition according to financial need. Particularly in times of dramatic change – such as we are presently experiencing in the New Rochelle community – having a secure foundation such as NBPAS provides can mean the difference between life success or failure as our youth try to find their way. Over the decade that NBPAS has been in operation, Ms. Jay has nurtured many classes of students who have benefited from not only dance and fitness instruction, but the inspiring life lessons in discipline and resilience that dance training brings. Their testimonies bear witness to the importance of our mission. InVision U asks you to join us in supporting NBPAS and the youth of New Rochelle.
