About DDP
Our History
In August of 2022, four passionate dance teachers came together, united by a shared burden—the financial struggles of families that prevented children from experiencing dance. We had seen firsthand the heartbreaking reality: the availability of the arts disappearing from our community and the joy it once brought slipping out of reach for so many children. Since that moment, we’ve been on a mission to break down the barriers that keep children from experiencing the transformative power of the arts. The disappearance of arts programs from schools and communities fueled our determination. We believe access to the arts is not just a luxury but a necessity in early childhood, laying the foundation for physical, social, and emotional development. What started as a small initiative has grown into a larger vision—to bring the arts back into schools and communities in every way possible. Today, our board has expanded to include five deeply committed individuals who share a love for people, a passion for the arts, and an unwavering desire to mentor the next generation. Together, we’ve worked tirelessly to create opportunities that make the arts accessible to children, regardless of socio-economic circumstances. Through partnerships, outreach, and creative programs, we’re dedicated to keeping the arts alive, thriving, and accessible for every child.
