ABOUT US

OUR TEAM

"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!"

— Ola Glodek, Founder

TESTIMONIALS

How Dance Inspired Us

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.
