Overview

Mission

We provide dance summer camps/workshops in the Cincinnati area for youth ages 5-18 by expanding access to arts education. Our camps are held at Xavier University combining ballet, hip hop, pom and modern dance with enrichment classes led by professionals in financial literacy, mental health, workforce development and gardening. Our workshops are held at local schools and community recreation centers aimed at reaching youth within their communities. We aim to inspire creativity, confidence and opportunity for young people throughout the greater Cincinnati community.

What it reported doing in 2025

In June 2025, the organization provided a free week-long dance summer camp serving 22 youth from ages 5-18 on Xavier University's campus. This was made possible by the donation of time/services of 8 professionals from industries such as dance, finance, mental health counseling, workforce development and marketing. This donated time is estimated to be over $8000. The Cincinnati Ballet Academy donated 20 leotards with a value of $900.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.
