Our Work

Dance Teachers

We train dance teachers to bring dance wellness to those in need.

Classes

We’re developing dance classes that are fun, inclusive, and carefully crafted to support overall well-being. Our research-driven approach ensures these classes are not only accessible but also highly effective in delivering tangible benefits. Using simple, easy-to-follow movements and brain games proven to enhance cognitive health, our classes promote both physical and mental resilience. To create a welcoming atmosphere, we feature music across generations—from the cherished tunes of Baby Boomers to popular hits for Gen Z—fostering connection and a sense of home. These classes will initially be offered in community-centered locations such as local centers, retirement communities, and dance studios. We began testing their effectiveness in 2024 and will continue through 2025.

Reach and Accessibility

Places

Our efforts are driven by the generous support of grantors and the expertise of dance teachers across the United States. These professionals bring invaluable knowledge and strong community connections, helping us address the issues that matter most. Additionally, we recognize the importance of having foundation representatives in key regions to foster relationships with partner organizations, gain deeper insights into local environments, and ensure our approach remains culturally sensitive.

Initiatives

We champion innovative solutions to overcome the barriers that prevent people from living their fullest lives. We understand that not every project will succeed, and we expect that. Philanthrophy involves taking risks on ideas that governments and businesses may not be able to pursue. As we learn which approaches are effective, we refine our strategies and share our findings to benefit everyone.
