Grantee: Inspirations Dance Studio

Project Title: Expanding Inclusivity Through Dance: Inspirations Dance Studio's Community Program
Year awarded: 2024, Round 2

Inspirations Dance Studio provides dance opportunities to individuals who may not have had the chance due to special needs or financial constraints. They offer free or reduced-cost dance programs within local schools, ensuring that more children have access to dance education. Inspirations’ history is characterized by this commitment to breaking down barriers to participation in the arts.

With this project, Inspirations’ mission is to increase participation from school-aged children, to foster a love for dance and physical activity among young students, and to provide a positive and creative outlet for children from underserved communities. By focusing on scholarships for low-income families and individuals with special needs, they are addressing some of the most significant barriers to engagement in the arts that the dance community faces.
