Everyone deserves a chance to dance

Our School Program

Leap of Joy is a non-profit organization empowering children through dance and creative movement. Through grants and private donations we are able to provide after school programs for elementary aged children at no cost to their families. Each class learns foundational ballet techniques, a variety of modern dance, hip hop, jazz, musical theatre and fundamentals of choreography.

I love Leap of Joy because they became my 2nd family.  Thanks to them I don’t feel alone sometimes.  Thank you so much!!!!!!

Thank you so much for your devotion and consistency with our after-school students.  Students who were not expected to have interest in dance and musical theater have requested admittance to the classes and have shown continued participation with positive attitudes.

My girls are my permanent foster children that without this program would be still struggling with ways to effectively express themselves and gain self-esteem that had been lost due to extreme post-traumatic stress, being abused and neglected.  The girls have flourished and really enjoyed these classes.

Foster Parent

Leap of Joy has provided an opportunity for our daughter to grow, learn and develop skills for life. It is safe, fun and engaging on many levels and provides the space for children to come together, learn a new art, make friends and grow with a community of learning.  We couldn’t be more grateful.
