Overview
Mission
Expand the reach of dance and hispanic/latin culture in Colorado through quality education, championing racial and social justice to create a space where all feel represented and included in the dance community
What it reported doing in 2025
Cultural and educational performance events: the organization conducted multiple cultural and educational performance events throughout the year involving students and community families. These performances showcased a diverse range of dance styles and artistic instruction learned through the organization's programs, including both latin and classical dance traditions. The organization also produced a culturally adapted holiday performance inspired by traditional seasonal themes and reimagined through latin american cultural influences, incorporating a variety of music, dance styles, and multicultural artistic elements to promote cultural appreciation, community engagement, and arts education.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
