Overview

Mission

Dance Waterloo is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to cultivate, create, and perform interdisciplinary methods of dance for the community through public space, education, and collaboration. Dance Waterloos vision is to encourage new audiences to discover, encounter, and experience dance in unconventional, forgotten, or overlooked public spaces within the city of Austin. We invite the public to act as both a dance observer and participant through performances and community dance programming. Through this mission and vision, Austinites can enhance their appreciation of dance, the city, and of each other.

What it reported doing in 2024

Lending Library was a program series that occurred in February-April and June-July. The Spring series had 18 events hosted at McBeth and Alamo Recreation Center. The Summer series had 8 events hosted at Conley Guerrero, Lamar, Alamo, and Gus Garcia Recreation Center. The programs taught within these series include: Flash & Flare, Storytelling Through Dance, and Rhythmic Wellness. All of these programs provided free services to Senior adults with the purpose of promoting physical and mental wellness. In total, an estimated 50 seniors have participated and 6 organization members have taught. These program series are scheduled to continue at various community centers in 2026.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
