Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2025
Dance Activism. iDANZ has used the power of social networking and it's connections in the dance community worldwide to help dancers devastated by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Students across the island still want to train; however, many dance studios in Puerto Rico suffered structural damage and loss of power as well as financial loss because dancers and parents could no longer pay tuition for classes; not to mention, many of the dancers and instructors lost a lot of their personal belongings including dance attire which can be very expensive to replace. iDANZ reached out to dance studios across the country and around the world to ask their students to donate gently used leotards, tights, ballet shoes, pointe shoes, dance shoes, dance warm-ups, etc. iDANZ believes in the power of dance and how dance can bring a comforting sense of solace to the hearts and souls of these dancers; and most importantly, normalcy, to dancers who need to return to a training routine. We wanted to start with efforts to re-wardrobe dancers beginning with schools in San Juan. Well, over 90 schools responded to our plea and had their students donate their gently used dance attire. This was a GREAT exercise in teaching empathy to mainland dance students about helping dancers in America just like them, but so happen to be disenfranchised by unfortunate circumstances beyond their control. We had so many donations that not only were we able to re-wardrobe dancers in San Juan, but we were also able to distribute the overflow to other schools throughout the island children sized through professional! These donations of used dance attire were sent from dance schools all across the United States DIRECTLY to San Juan to the arts community of San Juan, Puerto Rico for IMMEDIATE IMPACT. iDANZ provided the volunteer efforts as facilitators in creating awareness of Hurricane Maria's effect on the Arts and getting the word out about the needs of dancers in Puerto Rico to a network of dance schools across social networks and other platforms.
