Welcome to
Philly's Got Dance
Community Partnership
Philly’s Got Dance partners with schools, YMCAs, churches, recreation departments, community centers, colleges, and youth-serving organizations to create programs that fit the people they already serve.
We do not believe in dropping off a standard program and hoping it works. We begin by listening. What are your families requesting? What opportunities are missing? What would you offer if you had the right partner to deliver it?
For more than 12 years, PGD has used dance and performing arts to help young people develop confidence, leadership, discipline, teamwork, communication, and self-expression. Today, that work includes enrichment, mentorship, career exposure, workforce development, and community engagement.
