This Studio is Made Possible by... Viewers Like You!

Remember hearing on PBS that your favorite show was made possible by "viewers like you"? That is exactly how Autistic Wings operates.

Every single one of our dancers attends on scholarship so neurodivergent youth have a home to leap, tap, and belong without having to mask.

Right now, 4 dancers are waiting in the wings for their chance to take the floor. Our immediate milestone: welcome 138 monthly sustainers at $10/month to fully fund our first 2 dancers.

(Watch the video above to see our co-founders Leta & Faith at our very first shoot! Leta held down the rhythm on home plate while Faith—who injured her knee the day before—still showed up on crutches to cheer from the dugout.)

Giving Activity

Mission

Autistic Wings Dance Company's mission is to provide an empowering, safe space where autistic dancers can thrive. Rooted in the belief that the activity must adapt to the dancer—not the other way around—we offer specialized instruction, movement, and performance opportunities, ensuring every student can build confidence and pursue their path in the arts and beyond.

Background Statement

Autistic Wings is a rapidly growing organization led by autistic individuals. We invented the nation's first Dance Studio IEP and commit to an unparalleled standard of care: highly specialized classes with a high teacher-to-student ratio. All classes have 1-4 dancers, and at least 2 teachers per class.

This life-changing model has caused Autistic Wings to outgrow our single-room facility with crumbling walls. We must secure a new, larger studio to serve our waitlist and guarantee a safer environment.

Your support is critical. This Colorado Gives, we are seeking recurring monthly donations to secure our new home, instantly unlocking space for 72 new dancers and paving the way to serve over 200 students by next fall. We invite you to watch our video testimonials to see the incredible transformation your donation makes possible.
