What We Do

YMCA

We partner with local YMCAs in the North Carolina Triangle and South Carolina Upstate to offer Preschool Creative Movement, Ballet, and Jazz/Hip-Hop classes tailored to each student’s skill level and progress. We offer classes for ages 2-12.

Schools & Community

We offer diverse programs through local schools, including afterschool, community center, and preschool classes, providing high-quality, affordable instruction in a nurturing environment.

Adaptive

We offer individuals with disabilities an inclusive dance experience, fostering collaboration, friendships, enhanced movement skills, and confidence through various dance genres and creative movement, all while crafting social and emotional connections.

Workshop & Parties

We provide a 30-minute “in/out of character” dance session based on your child's birthday party theme! All customizable. Birthday Party locations can be in a backyard, living room, or park-- wherever your party is held. 

Support Dance Collaborative

Support Dance Collaborative

As a non-profit organization, we ensure that dance education is accessible to everyone, regardless of location, ability, or resources. Through our adaptive, inclusive, and mobile dance programs, we bring the arts directly to those who might otherwise be excluded, considered under-served, or under-resourced.

Our approach is built on compassion, adaptability, and a deep commitment to community engagement. We break down barriers and redefine accessibility, proving that the arts can flourish anywhere. Each step we teach fosters not only individual growth but also collaboration.

Your support can help us extend our reach and deepen our impact. By donating to Dance Collaborative, you become a part of a movement that enriches lives and empowers individuals through the language of dance. Join us in our mission to ensure no one is left backstage.
