Our goal is to raise $41,160 by June 30th. Why give?

  • Your gift will support our need-based scholarship offerings for all ages, the discounted training program for those with a lower household income, and our everyday sliding scale options. All this allows more people to get their bodies moving!

  • Your support now seeds the funds needed for our BANDALOOP partnership. Starting July 1st, we’ll hold 25+ hours per week of fresh exciting classes and rentals at BANDALOOP’s fully accessible space!  That is right! We now can share Shawl-Anderson’s core values with our neighboring communities and include our dancers that use assistive devices in their practice.

We know that dance can be a powerful force for goodness, connection and love, and we thank you for being an active part of creating this together. Whether it’s through your presence in-person, your online participation, rental of the studios, or a donation of $25-$25,000, we know that this community doesn’t exist without you. Your gift of any amount lets us all share in the work of re-imagining and creating equitable and positive spaces for expression in the East Bay.
