Cody Smith
Executive Director
Cody is a nonprofit leader, Air Force veteran, and advocate for human connection through movement. After serving 10 years in uniform and traveling all around, he returned to his roots in Sacramento, where he now dedicates his work to building inclusive spaces that bring people together. His passion for dance was sparked when he met his wife, who introduced him to the Latin dance community—an experience that shaped his belief in the power of movement to break barriers and create lasting relationships.
With a background in event organizing and nonprofit leadership, Cody has helped thousands experience the joy of dance. He is committed to fostering partnerships that support local artists, small businesses, and the broader community. Outside of his work, Cody enjoys spending time with his family, dancing, exercising, and exploring creative projects. Whether leading events, mentoring others, or building new initiatives, his mission remains the same: to connect people through shared experiences.
