A Charitable Not for Profit Organization since 1987


The school’s mandate is unique:

Every child who has a wish to (learn) dance should be given a chance to do so

Every child who has a wish to perform dance should be given the chance to do so

Every child who has a wish to create dance should be given the chance to do so.

It is through the power of this mandate that miracles have happened, dreams have

come true, young people have felt empowered. Our mandate has never failed to inspire.

Living this mandate, the school is able to inspire donors to support all our needs:
