Staff from Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. volunteered at our center in Dundalk and showcased their latest dance moves to the individuals we support at an afternoon dance party. These fabulous young people like nothing better than to visit The Arc for some good old fashioned fun. The Arc dance troupe then performed their latest dance choreographed to Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off." Everyone had a great time. Thank you, Bubba Gump. We can't wait for you to visit The Arc Baltimore again!
