Introducing High 5 Fridays: Help Fuel the Movement for Inclusive Dance!
High 5 Fridays is Chance 2 Dance’s weekly giving campaign designed to make supporting the arts simple, fun, and impactful. Every Friday, we invite our community to donate in increments of $5 to help bring inclusive dance programs to students with physical and cognitive limitations. Whether it’s $5, $15, $25, or more, each contribution fuels accessible arts education, builds confidence, and creates life-changing opportunities for our dancers. Donors also enjoy special perks like social media shoutouts, raffle entries for Chance 2 Dance merchandise, and recognition for larger gifts. By giving just a few dollars — less than the cost of your favorite coffee — you can make a priceless difference in making the arts accessible to ALL.
What to Expect at Your First Inclusive Dance Class
Starting something new can be exciting — and a little bit nerve-wracking. At Chance 2 Dance, we understand that stepping into your first inclusive dance class is a big deal, both for students and their families. That’s why we’ve designed our classes to be predictable, welcoming, and joyful from start to finish.
