Overview
Mission
Xcape Dance Company is a community space where dancers of all ages, aspirations, and walks of life can come together to enjoy freedom of movement and self-expression through dance. Xcape is dedicated to helping students follow their dreams, reach their technical and performance goals, and providing cutting-edge instruction in the art of movement. Dance is our vehicle for teaching some of life's most important tools for greatness and success, and we make every effort to make our programming and space accessible to all youth and families, regardless of circumstance.
What it reported doing in 2025
Xcape served approximately 280 students weekly in 2025 in the instruction of dance with 52 weekly classes and programs, student showcases and events ranging through the academic year and through the summer sessions. We offered full scholarships for 14 full year scholarships for students based on need, operated a festival for young artists at no cost to participate, and sponsored a community celebration for Juneteenth. We also added an adult program of classes in fall of 2025 to serve a new population of our community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 62% 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.
