Danceworks is not just home to a dance studio and performance company; it’s also a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization! We believe in arts education as a powerful tool to enhance the joy, health and creativity of our beloved Milwaukee community, but we can’t do it alone!

Each year, your support helps us serve more than 55,000 youth and adults through performances, studio classes and workshops, and community programming. Support for Danceworks in 2020-21 will help us recover and rebuild during these unprecedented times. Your support will help us provide needed programming in the community and retain our roster of professional artists and instructors. It will allow us to keep our doors open to all in the Milwaukee community to ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable arts activities. Through the generous support of individuals, corporations and foundations, Danceworks will continue to fulfill its mission, and contribute to Milwaukee’s cultural vitality by sparking a lifelong interest and participation in the arts.
