After closing our facility due to COVID-19, and moving nine times in 30 years, Luna finally purchased a home on March 31, 2022 in West Berkeley. We are renovating this space to create a community dance education hub where all children, families, artists, and educators can belong.
We invite you to join Luna friends and supporters as we inaugurate our capital campaign and manifest a place for dance in Berkeley.
We celebrated the renovations kick-off of our new building September 8 at our Luna Launch!

We are grateful to the generous campaign contributors that helped us secure an enduring home for dance. Please consider joining them – we still need to raise $1.25M more to reach our $2.5M campaign goal. The funds raised to reach our goal will be used to renovate this community dance space for complete ADA accessibility.
Help us reach our
full moon goal!

Peek Inside – the vision for Luna’s new space
Luna was founded in 1992 to serve as a home for dance teachers displaced by the Loma Prieta earthquake. Three decades later, Luna has grown from a local dance studio to a nationally recognized, innovative teaching and learning center supporting 300+ artists and educators to bring the transformative power of dance to tens of thousands of children each and every year.
Learn more about Luna and our campaign:
“A permanent home will be a game-changer for Luna’s life-changing dance programs. Circumstances beyond our control forced us to leave our rented Berkeley studio in 2020. This was the 9th time in our 30-year history that we were forced to move. Now is the time to secure the launching pad—the position of financial stability—that is vital to Luna’s future.”
