Imagine being 15 years old and wondering if the world was built with you in mind.
When Morgan, a dancer with Down syndrome, first joined our Adaptive Dance program she felt frustrated and unsure of herself. Movement didn't always come easily, and the rhythm of the room felt overwhelming.
But we saw her strength. Our instructors worked one-on-one with Morgan on her confidence, focus, and physical strength. Over time, something shifted.
Through tears, we watched Morgan walk into a traditional dance class - without her volunteer "Buddy" - and confidently perform every piece of choreography. She didn’t just keep up. She belonged.
This is the power of dance.
And this is why we need your help during Amplify Austin.
The Goal: Expand our Adaptive Dance program
From March 4th at 6:00 PM to March 5th at 6:00 PM, we're raising funds to grow our Adaptive Dance program. Early giving is already open, so you don't have to wait.
We are currently the only organization in Central Texas offering specialized dance classes for children with disabilities, individuals living with Parkinson’s, and cancer survivors — entirely free of charge.
Now, we’re ready to expand our proven curriculum so that no child, regardless of ability or income, is ever left out.
