About Us

Elevating Dance Education. Cultivating Community.

The mission of the Affinity Dance Collective is to enrich lives through the transformative power of dance. We are dedicated to elevating dance education, cultivating vibrant performance opportunities for dancers of all ages, and removing financial barriers through dedicated scholarship funding. Through accessible community outreach and inclusive performances, we strive to foster a deep passion for dance and ensure the art form remains open, inspiring, and available to all.

Our Story

Affinity Dance Collective was born out of a belief that high-quality dance education could be taught without the toxicity and negativity of a stereotypical ballet education. That a space free from judgement could be achieved and community could be cultivated both within the organization and outside of the organization.
