Your Generosity in Action

By becoming part of our circle of annual and monthly donors, you are nurturing the creative spirit of our dancers and students, providing them with the resources to thrive in an environment fueled by passion and perseverance. While each day brings us closer to building an international destination for Black dance with our permanent home in Washington Park.

These are just a few ways your

gift makes a lasting difference:

Growing diversity and representation in dance:

We make professional dance careers more accessible to African Americans through our professional company and apprentices, our collaboration with emerging and established choreographers, and our world-class training programs for youth and pre-professional dancers.

Increasing access to arts and culture:

Each year, our renowned company brings inspiring performances to public parks, area schools, churches, and community centers, reaching thousands of children, families, and community members through the power of dance.

Helping students grow vibrantly at any age:

We all have creative ability. Deeply Rooted offers robust dance education programs that engage students across all technique levels—from recreational, to novice, to professional—including youth, aspiring artists, and adult community members. Our classes support physical and emotional well-being, grounded in a unique philosophy of self-awareness and growth.

Celebrating Black stories and experiences:

Through rich and powerful traditions of American and African American dance and storytelling, Deeply Rooted makes Black stories visible and ensures that Black children, families, and communities see themselves, their lives, and their experiences represented onstage. We share these stories in performances here at home, across the country, and around the world.

Investing in Black leadership:

Deeply Rooted is proud to be a Black-led organization, from our visionary founders, to our inspiring Artistic and Executive Director who are leading us through our new chapter of growth. We carry this commitment across generations by nurturing staff member careers and building professional pathways through the Arts Management Workforce Development program.
