Colorado Gives Is Live!
This Colorado Gives, Autistic Wings Dance Company is raising the funds to move into our own studio space. A space where we can have classes when our dancers need classes (afterschool and evenings), and host community events. A place where we can replace the florescent lights with sensory friendly lights. A place where we can host in-house recitals and shows without worrying about any of our students experiencing sensory overload or eloping. A space to grow and for our dancers to soar. But, we need your help.
Our goal is to raise at least $5000 in monthly donations to help us cover the rent in the new studio. With that money we can move into the new location. The first studio could be fixed up and ready for use by January. With that first studio space active, we will be able to offer afterschool classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with evening classes for our adult dancers. It sounds like a lot, but if 250 people donate $20 a month, we will have the money.
With your help, our dancers will be celebrating the new year in our new studio.
When we hit our goal of $5000 in recurring donations, we will give away two tickets to our first concert in our studio space.
When we hit $5000 in overall donations (one-time and monthly donations), we are giving away two tickets to our first recital in our new studio.
If we make our overall goal of $60,000, one lucky winner and three of their friends will receive a behind-the-scenes tour from our 14 years old founder, Leta Rundell (Member of Emmy Nominated Chloe Arnold's SoleTalk), tickets to our first concert, and a private class with one of our amazing teachers.
And, between now and November 10th, our founder, Leta, has agreed to send every new donor a link to her latest viral tap video. This is a special preview link so our donors can see the video before Leta drops it on November 11th.

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.
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.
