What We Do
A fiscally sponsored project aimed at bringing Ballroom and Latin dance to underserved communities in Northern California.
Our mission is to bring the joy of dance to children and young adults in the Bay Area who lack the access to Ballroom, Latin and other culturally meaningful dance forms. We provide historically marginalized and underserved communities local access to dance with its rewards of fitness, self-expression, self esteem.
Moving to music is an essential component of the human experience and is a bridge that connects people, regardless of background or socioeconomic status. The opportunity gap for communities of color should not prohibit individuals from achieving their dreams.
In the Community
We currently partner with the Al Boro San Rafael Community Center in the Canal neighborhood and offer ballet and ballroom dance classes for kids between the ages of 4-12 years old.
In Schools
We partner with Anna Yates Elementary School in Emmeryville for in-school dance programs as well as afterschool dance programs at Bayside Elementary in Sausalito.
