Columbia Dance is a 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit Organization committed to enriching lives through dance. By supporting Columbia Dance, you partner with us to ensure our long-term sustainability, and help us to reach our goals to present dance as a life-enhancing experience for our students and our community.
At Columbia Dance we are focused on mentoring youth. We believe wholeheartedly in the positive impact dance has on our students’ lives, both inside and outside of the dance studio. The combination of physical exertion and artistic expression in dance classes cultivates numerous physical and mental benefits . . . discipline, self-motivation, self-esteem, stress relief, the list goes on and on. We also believe in bringing the benefits of dance to as many people as possible.
Columbia Dance awards over $20,000 yearly in financial aid, donates Nutcracker tickets to families in need, provides curriculum to our public schools, and offers our beautiful building up to other arts organizations in our community. Among our many class offerings for dancers ages 3 to adult is our INCLUDE program. These classes are designed for accessibility and equal participation in dance for all dance students. These classes promote an accessible environment that integrates the experiences of children with and without disabilities.
On behalf of our board, staff, dancers, and their families we express our sincere appreciation of your support of our organization.
