The Ellen Taylor Foundation was established in 2007 to assist and encourage junior shaggers. At present they have 4 major programs to help fulfill their mission…the shoe drive (where gently-used dance shoes are collected and given to the kids), the school program (where informational packets on the shag are distributed to schools), the workshop program (where monetary support is given to individuals or groups willing to offer dance classes), and the financial support program to help with the costs involved (travel, accommodations, meals, etc) in getting juniors and their family or sponsor to Junior SOS.

"Helping the next generation preserve and enjoy the dance" …that’s what it’s all about!
