Arts and wellness for social justice.

Grown Women Dance Collective uses the power of arts and wellness for social justice. Through choreography that shifts the narrative on societal issues, culturally grounded arts & wellness classes, and groundbreaking workforce development programs, we celebrate and build resilience, resistance, empowerment, and joy. Our work reinvests creativity, wellness, and wealth into disinvested communities, amplifies overlooked voices, and strengthens our community’s ability to mobilize and challenge systemic injustices. We build collective power to create a just, joyful world where everyone is seen, heard, can dance, and thrive.

How We Inspire Change

We create social impact through three areas of focus: performing arts, wellness, and career preparation. In a time where Black life, liberation, and alliance building have a renewed understanding of importance, we are doing important work. Join us.

Our Progress

What began as a mission to bring amazing performing arts to the community has grown into so much more. For 13 years, we’ve presented full length, world-class dance concerts, taught free dance classes to financially challenged children, decreased back pain, and strengthened the bodies and minds of our elders in the community. Our new work force development program aims to impact health disparities through high quality arts and wellness programs.
