Together, We Dance
Give Today To Support Dance Initiative’s Collaboration With The Navajo Nation
We’re teaming up with the Office of the First Lady of the Navajo Nation to bring breakdance classes to eager & enthusiastic kids and schools on the Navajo Nation reservation. For our Navajo breakdance instructor, Joh, this project is a dream come true. Joh has always wanted to give back to his community, sharing hip hop, break dancing, creativity and self-expression with the next generation.
This isn’t just about dance steps—it's about building confidence, fostering community & culture, and empowering these kids to dream big.
But we need your help to make it happen. Every donation provides the resources and safe spaces these children need to thrive through dance.
Your support will bring these transformative classes to life and give children an experience they will carry with them forever.
Now's your time to make an impact. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a lasting difference.
