We believe in the power of dance to bring people together
Our Mission
“Dance On The Edge creates opportunities for connection, movement, and cultural appreciation through free, community-centered dance events. We aim to foster unity, well-being, and growth by making the arts accessible to all while supporting local artists, small businesses, and families.”
OUR VISION
“We envision communities where dance, music, and shared experiences inspire lifelong connections, personal growth, and appreciation for the arts, creating a more inclusive and connected society.”
A Community-Driven Idea
Dance On The Edge started as a group of friends organizing social dance events, simply to share their love for dance. There was no business plan, no grand vision—just a belief that dance brings people together in a way nothing else can.
What began as a small gathering quickly became something more. People weren’t just coming for the music; they were finding community, stepping out of isolation, and experiencing the joy of movement in a judgment-free space.
From Events to a movement
As interest grew, Dance On The Edge became a structured business (LLC) to keep up with demand. But along the way, it became clear that this was more than just a dance event series—it was an opportunity to create something bigger than dance.
The shift to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit was a natural step, ensuring that Dance On The Edge would always be mission-driven, community-centered, and built around inclusivity.
The transformation
The focus expanded beyond just dance to:
Providing opportunities for everyone—not just dancers, but vendors, artists, small businesses, and newcomers looking for connection.
Expanding to more communities—bringing the experience to other cities to reach even more people.
Using dance to combat isolation—in a fast-paced world where people often self-isolate behind screens, social dancing offers real human interaction.
Keeping events free and accessible—so that anyone, regardless of background, can participate without barriers.
why it matters
Dance On The Edge offers a solution—a space where people can step away from their screens, engage with others, and share real experiences. Social dancing is not just about movement—it’s about human connection. It strengthens physical health, mental well-being, and social bonds in a way few activities can.
What started as a small dance gathering has grown into a thriving community movement. Whether you come to dance, shop, support local businesses, or simply enjoy the music, you’re part of something bigger—a space where life slows down, and real human interaction takes center stage.
