About The Foundation
At Elevé Dance Theater Foundation, we believe that dance is not just an art form but a powerful vehicle for personal development, community building, and social change. Our mission is to create a nurturing environment where children and young adults can explore their creative potential, develop their skills, and gain the confidence to express themselves fully. The foundation’s fundraising efforts also directly support the initiatives of Elevé Dance Theater Academy and its performance companies, ensuring that we continue to offer exceptional opportunities to young dancers in the community.
The Elevé Dance Theater Foundation (EDTF), the 501(c) 3 nonprofit sector of Elevé Dance Theater Academy and companies, works in conjunction with Elevé Dance Theater to support and enhance the academy’s mission of providing access to high-quality dance education and performance opportunities for young artists, particularly those from underrepresented communities. By supporting the foundation, you will help ensure that we can continue offering enriching cultural programs that foster both artistic and personal growth.
