through dance programming.

Forward Momentum Chicago provides high-quality affordable dance education programs in the classroom and in the community to children typically not exposed to this art form with emphasis on health and fitness.

*National Common Core Standards
*National Dance Standards

The Commitment Continues!

Help Us Celebrate Pierre Lockett Day with a donation that provides meals for FMC Summer Dance Camp students.

In 2014, Mayor Rahm Emanuel declared June 30th Pierre Lockett Day to honor Pierre's commitment to bringing quality dance education to communities where youth have limited access to the arts. Pierre Lockett Day coincides with the closing of our fiscal year, and we take the opportunity each year to celebrate the anniversary of this milestone.

If you supported us at Relevé Soiree, thanks again! If you missed our fundraiser, or would like to make an additional gift, proceeds go directly toward supporting youth in FMC Summer Dance Camps. For more information on how your donation helps children dance, visit our website.
