Overview

Mission

The mission of MICHIYAYA Dance is to present multidisciplinary performances that inspire and empower people with limitless boundaries. In addition to performances, they offer accessible, educational public initiatives nurturing voices and creativity to youth and adults of all backgrounds.

What it reported doing in 2025

MICHIYAYA Dance's 2025-26 year included their annual season of performances, educational programming, community engagement and professional development. MICHIYAYA premiered their newest work 'road to sky' in Pittsburgh, PA. Performed nationally at institutions such as the Carnegie Museum of Art. They hosted two dance intensives for pre-professional and professional dancers; taught at dance institutions such as Gibney, Point Park University, and Peridance Capezio Center; and hosted community classes and discussions in New York City & Pittsburgh.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
