Mission
The mission of the Empower Dance Foundation is to provide access to professional dance classes for all children and youth ages 2-18. Empower seeks to eliminate the barriers of economic inequality, racism and representation for young people.
​
The Foundation believes that children who receive this training have increased self-confidence and perseverance, become self-motivated, more physically fit and have an enhanced ability to become successful adults. When you support us, you became part of a larger movement that is cultivating a creative environment for young dancers to experience the beauty, power, and opportunities dance has to offer without causing a financial burden.
History of the Foundation
2017
In June 2017, the Empower Dance Foundation was founded as a 501c3 non-profit organization. Since the birth of the Foundation in 2017 over $250,000 has been raised for the tuition of dancers in need; youth who now have a chance to participate in all classes, performances, and recitals.
​
As a recognized and trusted community organization, the Empower Dance Foundation is uniquely positioned to address the negative effects of disempowering images of children of color through our programs, which enable underserved youth to explore how dance can transform their lives emotionally, socially, and physically.
