What’s Luna Dance Institute?
Established in 1992, Luna Dance Institute is a nationally recognized dance education organization, providing services to children and the adults who impact their lives – parents, teachers, social service providers, dancers, and artists. As we bring all children to dance, we develop future leaders, choreographers, and visionaries.
Become Our Ally
When children are dancing, they are home. You can bring the transformative power in dance education to all children!
What the Community Is Saying
“Dance has become my escape… When I dance, I feel everything but human. I almost feel god-like. When I dance, I feel like I matter.”
“My students are very sensitive and aware of how their peers look, speak and react to them. The stigma of special ed is really a challenge esp. with high functioning kids. When in intimidating situations the lower functioning kids will just tune out and feel diminished. Dance is helping them to build leadership skills, and have confidence in their bodies and minds.”
“It’s super important to feel comfortable with yourself, with your body and dancing really makes awareness in young children. Class like yours is so essential.”
“We have dance class? This is the best day of my life!”
“I hope that this connection to herself and ability to take feedback/prompts without triggering that deep wound can continue to flourish and provide another way for her to navigate being a learner.”
“I love to move so much that when everybody has to sit down when we discuss things it is really hard for me to stop moving.”
