Overview
Mission
Southwest dance exists solely to promote the amateur dance experience. None of the students are required to audition for membership opening up the world of dance to students of any skill level, a much broader audience than a traditional studio. The motivating force behind the studio is not only developing excellent dancers, but more importantly developing young people who are useful, imaginative, and healthy human beings. In the words of the founder, "our dacers know that they are loved that they are important that they have their own statement, their own music, their own dance waiting to be created. Southwest dance is a lab for young, inventive minds. We are the keepers of innocence, the makers of dreams." they differ from a commercial studio in that they rely on public support from government agencies and schools to provide performance opportunities to their participants at reduced or no cost.
What it reported doing in 2025
Dance lessons offered to the community at a reduced cost making the gift of dance available to more students.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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.
