We invite Corporate Partners to join us in cultivating and educating a new generation of lifelong arts advocates.

All of our programs are inclusive for individuals with multiple learning styles and abilities. We promote movement exploration in a safe, supportive environment to encourage social and emotional growth. Our highly-qualified faculty has deep experience in special needs teaching and dance education.  Our curriculum integrates the arts with core academic learning standards and incorporates multiple styles of dance that reflect our diverse community. We prioritize students and families from communities with the highest need, including Dorchester, Mattapan, and Hyde Park.
