WHAT WE DO
What We Do. Dance Education & Performance Opportunities Dance education and performance are the core transformational elements through which our youth change the way they think about themselves and aspire beyond the grip of socioeconomic barriers. In the dance studio, exploration, creativity, and self-knowledge lead to growing critical life skills, confidence, leadership, teamwork, well-being, and joy.
DANCE EDUCATION Dance classes are offered each week in modern, ballet, improvisation, contact improvisation, and choreography with professional faculty and live music accompanists.
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT We make a commitment to a dance aesthetic that values exploration, discovery, and innovation, which leads to student success in school and in life.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Dance Free Weeks™, a community engagement program held in schools throughout Santa Ana and neighboring communities, reaches about 3,000 additional students annually.
ON STAGE Our young artists collaborate with recognized choreographers to create unexpected and challenging works of contemporary dance, performed in professional settings.
