CommUNITY Dance Fest
“Our goal with CommUNITY Dance Fest is to put the dancers FIRST. Routinely, dancers show up for a performance and have to wait back stage for sometimes hours as their parents get to enjoy the show. This event puts the dancers directly in the audience, affording them the opportunity to cheer on their friends, old and new, the same way they would hope to be cheered while they are on stage!”
- Beat Addikts United
(Closed performance)

Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser
As a nonprofit dance organization, fundraising is a vital part of how we bring the positive impact of art through dance to so many. Your support allows us to keep building strength, leadership, friendships, and self-confidence in every dancer who walks through our doors. We are stronger together, and this fundraiser is one way to show that strength in action.
