The Dance Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1975.  Our programs celebrate the creative spirit and potential in all of us. The Dance Foundation is grounded by the belief that dance is a powerful and profound experience for all ages and abilities.  Our mission is to teach the art of dance to all, inspiring creativity and confidence.  We build skills, creativity, confidence, and community through these main programs:
  
•	Community Partnership Program, serving typical children and those with physical, emotional, or economic challenges;
•	Studio Program, with need based scholarships;
•	Contracted Training Programs, for educators;
•	Studio Use Program for Community Artists, for community artists and arts organizations.

The Dance Foundation reaches 20,000 children and adults each year through these programs, which are based on a nurturing, inclusive and skill-building philosophy.  We have a volunteer board of directors and a volunteer support organization, the Children’s Arts Guild.  We own our facility and earn an average of 70% of our annual budget through fees for services.  Remaining funds are secured through a diverse collection of sources – local, state and federal government, foundations, corporations and individuals.   We have a rich history in collaborating with area school systems and community service organizations.
