Every week, over 200 children walk through our doors and discover what they are capable of—through movement, discipline, and creativity.
At Columbia Dance, we believe dance is more than technique. It is where children learn perseverance, confidence, teamwork, and self-belief.
We are passionate not only about training dancers, but about shaping resilient, confident young people. And we are committed to bringing the benefits of dance to children who might not otherwise have access to arts education.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Because of our community of supporters, these opportunities exist:
- 25 children participate in our INCLUDE program—accessible dance classes for children with disabilities, where every dancer is welcomed, supported, and celebrated
- 100 children receive weekly dance education through our outreach program at Orchards Elementary, a Title I school
- 1,500 third graders across Vancouver Public Schools study our Nutcracker curriculum and attend a live professional performance as a school field trip
- $50,000 annually in financial aid ensures that cost is never a barrier to participation
- 200+ students each week are given a place to grow, move, and belong
These are not just programs. They are life-shaping experiences made possible by community support.
Dance Builds More Than Dancers
At Columbia Dance, students develop skills that last far beyond the studio:
- Self-discipline and perseverance
- Confidence in their abilities
- The ability to work as part of a team
- Patience through challenge and growth
- Creativity, expression, and resilience
These lessons shape how children show up in school, in relationships, and in life.
Why This Work Matters
For many students, Columbia Dance is more than a studio—it is a place where they feel seen, supported, and capable of achieving something meaningful.
But none of this happens without community support.
Financial aid, outreach programs, and inclusive classes are only possible because of donors who believe that every child deserves access to the arts.
