Your gift at work

Where your money goes.

Community donations keep our doors open, our studio safe, and our classes affordable.

Affordable class fees

Community support is part of how we keep tuition accessible for families across East Hawai‘i.

Studio maintenance

Nice dance floor, comfortable studio, safe facilities — the essentials that keep dancers moving.

Live performances

Biannual showcases at the Palace Theater and University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Performing Arts Center that honor our dancers' hard work with the experience of performing on a professional stage.

Scholarship support

Limited scholarship help is available for families where cost is a barrier — we'd rather find a way than lose a dancer.

Because of you

You did this.

Studio Improvements

New flooring, enhanced cooling, and student storage — funded entirely by community donations. This is what happens when Hilo shows up for its dancers.

Goal reached — mahalo to every donor.
