Overview
Mission
To promote, produce, and present affordable dance performances, workshops, and other events of a similar nature in furtherance of the cultural and educational needs of the community
What it reported doing in 2025
Summer Workshops and Videos - We hosted 13 dance classes that were taught by and attended by Boston dance artists. We hosted 400 dancers across these 13 classes. We also produced our first dance film, which was created by one choreographer in collaboration with a local videographer and 30 dancers. Expenses included class space rentals, rehearsal space rentals for the video, the video shoot rental, and payment to a videographer.
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
STRONG - 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.
