WE RESPECT DANCING TRADITIONS THAT HAVE SHAPED COMMUNITIES WHILE INNOVATING TO INTEGRATE THEIR VALUE INTO MODERN HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY WELLBEING
"For me, dance has been a path to self-discovery and a new way of seeing the world.
Through this experience, I’ve witnessed its incredible power to uplift, strengthen, and heal
—not just in my own life, but in the lives of friends, fellow dancers, and many others.
I want to harness this power and share it with everyone.
It doesn’t take much: just a little floor space, a dedicated teacher, and a sound of music.
Let’s dance this journey together!"

OUR APPROACH
CHALLENGES WE SEE
SOLUTIONS WE CREATE
Gaps in Connection and Access
Modern life can limit social engagement and make us feel lonely and disconnected from social ties. Traditional dance environments may feel intimidating and exclusive for certain people or groups.
We create inclusive and accessible programs that
bring people together through dance experience.
Building Accessible Connections
CONNECT
Underutilized Wellness Tool
Despite its extensively researched benefits, art and science
of dancing remains untapped in healthcare and education.
Dance for Healthcare and Learning
Our initiatives integrate physical, mental, and emotional benefits of dance into healthcare and education.
HEAL
Cultural Legacies at Risk
The rich legacies of many traditional partner dance forms
are at risk of being overlooked.
Preserving and Evolving Dance Traditions
We honor the heritage and diversity of traditional dance styles and expand opportunities for dancing by creating programs that keep traditions alive in a modern way.
