Take the Stage

Work hard.
Always do your personal best.
Never give up.
 

Our Mission
Take the Stage is a high-energy, in-school dance residency program designed to uplift and inspire youth to excellence. Through a positive and dynamic experience in the arts we provide children the opportunity to discover the tools necessary to become successful in academics and in life.

Our Focus
We work with students in urban core schools where 90% qualify for free and reduced lunches. No child pays a penny to dance with us. We believe that the performing arts is a powerful force to motivate children to reach their full potential regardless of background or ability. 

Our Results​​

• 90% of students feel more able to persevere and excel
• 86% of students feel more confident working in a group 
• 84% of students are willing to try new things
