Donate and Support the Arts in Milwaukee

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. Through the generous support of individuals, corporations and foundations, Danceworks fulfills its mission, and contributes to Milwaukee’s cultural vitality by sparking a lifelong interest and participation in the arts.
