About Guiding Stars Dance Foundation
Guiding Stars Dance Foundation is dedicated to making the opportunities and benefits of dance more accessible to our community. We believe every dancer deserves the chance to learn, grow, perform, and discover their potential. Through financial assistance, scholarships, resources, and community programs, we work to remove barriers and help dancers thrive both on and off the dance floor.
Expanding access. Empowering dancers. strengthening our community.
Our Story
Guiding Stars Dance Foundation was created from the simple belief: the opportunity to experience dance should not depend on a family's ability to afford it.
Dance can build confidence, discipline, friendship, creativity, and a sense of belonging. But for many dancers and families, the costs of classes, competition, costumes, shoes,and other necessities can become a barrier.
Guiding Stars works to help remove those barriers by providing financial assistance, resources, and opportunities that allow dancers to participate, grow, and thrive.
through programs such as Stars In Motion, Dance Scholarships, and our Dance Closet, we strive to meet dancers where they are and help them continue pursuing something they love.
We believe supporting a dancer means supporting more than what happens on the dance floor. We’re helping young people discover confidence, resilience, determination, and the courage to chase their dreams.
Expanding access. Empowering Dancers. Strengthening Our Community.
