$5,000 Goal

Colorado’s Pikes Peak Region faces a cultural and educational gap in accessible, high-quality dance programming, especially for youth and individuals with limited access to the arts. As the region grows, the need for inclusive, enriching experiences becomes increasingly vital to ensure all residents have opportunities to engage with the performing arts.

We ask for your support to make a difference in the lives of young dancers, underserved public school students, and our community.
