WHAT WE DO
Here at Dance the Bay, we aim to spread dance to underserved communities through the work of our three branches:

YOUTH PROGRAM
Youth Program’s mission is to provide free volunteer-based dance classes to youth around the area. Dance is important to kids because they are at an age where they are still physically developing, so it can help them gain body awareness. We recruit volunteers every single semester to help teach classes at after school programs near us! We finish each semester off with a dance showcase featuring all our students.
OUTREACH PROGRAM
The Outreach Program's mission is to bring movement and dance into the lives of people in our local community who would otherwise not have access to such activities. We recruit volunteers every semester who will bring movement to people at sites such as senior homes and medical centers.
COMMUNITY WORKSHOP
Community workshop's goal is to bring underrepresented styles of dance to the Berkeley Dance Community and to give students the opportunity to improve their own dance repertoire. We achieve this by bringing in guest choreographers and providing free dance workshops the UC Berkeley campus.
