Your Support Makes a Difference

Donate Today!

We invite YOU to join the Danceworks 30-year legacy today! With a gift that is meaningful to you, you can leave your footprint on the path to 30 more years of community arts programming, and participate in imagining how we might touch the lives of others through dance.

Traditionally, one of the most popular days of charitable giving, Giving Tuesday, falls after Black Friday and Cyber-Monday.

Giving First Day flips that script in support of organizations that depend on gifts during this season. Before the hustle and bustle of the traditional shopping weekend, will you reflect on the needs of our community and consider how you could invest in your own values?

On Tuesday November 22, 2022, you can join the movement and give first to Danceworks, Inc. and support our mission to enhance Joy, Health and Creativity by engaging the community through dance. Our goal is to raise $5,000 in our 30th year, which will help Danceworks continue to elevate our community impact and lay the foundation for 30 more years!

We also encourage you to check out over 45 local organizations that are also participating in #givingfirstday at www.givingfirstday.org. Using your philanthropy, we can collectively enhance the robust community assets people need to thrive.

Make sure to save the date, November 22, on your calendar and stay tuned for more information!

offer scholarships for a wide range of dance classes for children, adults and seniors at our Water Street studio and satellite locations;
and produce professional dance performances through our resident company, as well as performances for our youth performance company, and produce dance performances by both emerging and established local, regional and national performers.
