About Us
Our Mission
D.A.N.C.E. Empowerment is a non-profit organization that utilizes dance and performances to keep kids off the streets, drug-free, in school, and away from the gangs and violence.
With hundreds of performances and thousands of classes conducted each year, we incorporate a physical, educational, social, and character building curriculum to edify and prepare students to become leaders in their community.
Through our program we are able to bring a positive message to our students and to the community through our public performances. It is our hope that the opportunities and training that are offered will open doors of creativity and fun for all. We hope that experiences gained will have a positive influence in the life of each student and that they will in turn influence others in a positive way.
Why do we like to dance?
Mental wellness is Dance! Listen to why some of our students love to dance. (Note: This video is not scripted. Students are speaking from the heart)
