Our Supporters

Luna Dance Institute is able to fulfill our mission thanks to generous donations from our community. Your donations ensure every child has opportunities for dance learning.

Make a Difference

To maximize our impact and continue to spread the culture of dance, Luna raises funds through private and public grants and individual donations. You can join us in making a difference in children’s lives by sending a donation today, asking your employer if there is a matching program, recommending us to your company’s nonprofit giving program. We accept cash and stock donations.
