Support Dance NOW!'s 26th Season
Inspiring, Educating and Inspiring through the Art Form of Dance
Why Dance NOW! Miami Matters:
• A Quarter-Century of Impact: Since 2000, Dance NOW! Miami has brought world-class contemporary dance to South Florida and beyond, performing in sixteen states and three continents. The company has enriched over 60,000 young lives through education programs, in-school residencies, and vibrant community performances at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex and facilites thoroughout the world.
• Diversity and Inclusion at the Core: Dance NOW! Miami is a true champion of inclusivity, reaching underserved neighborhoods and giving emerging artists a platform to shine. Their presence in Little Haiti—a community rich in culture but facing economic challenges—has helped spark both creative and community growth.
• Educational Legacy: The Dance NOW! Youth Ensemble, developed with Miami Arts Charter School, offers mentoring, performance, and scholarship opportunities for talented young dancers—many of whom have gone on to prestigious institutions and careers.
• Resilience and Resourcefulness: Even as arts funding has dwindled, Dance NOW! Miami has remained agile—reusing costumes, shortening seasons, and relying on emergency funds to keep its mission alive. This spirit of perseverance is thanks in large part to dedicated supporters like you, whose vision have guided the company through tough times.
• The Funding Crisis and the Urgent Need for Support: Arts Funding in Jeopardy: Recent state and county funding cuts have left Miami-Dade’s cultural community in crisis. Dance NOW! Miami is among those hardest hit, facing tough choices about programming and outreach.
• Community Ripple Effect: The loss of arts funding threatens not only the survival of organizations like Dance NOW! Miami but also the broader benefits they bring—jobs, tourism, and community connection.
Your generosity will help:
• Keep Essential Education Programs Alive: Thousands of children will continue to experience the joy and inspiration of dance.
• Support Innovative Performances: World-class, boundary-pushing dance will remain accessible to all Miamians.
• Strengthen the Arts Ecosystem: Your leadership will encourage others to invest, ensuring that Miami’s cultural landscape remains vibrant for years to come.
Together, we can make sure Dance NOW! Miami not only survives but flourishes—inspiring, educating, and uniting our community for generations.
