Overview
Mission
Yin He Dance is a dance organization rooted in Chicago's Chinese American community. We are committed to exploring and representing all aspects of our culture through dance. Our goal is to contribute to and empower our community through art.
What it reported doing in 2025
Yin He Dance Center is our physical space in Bridgeport (Greater Chicago Chinatown) which houses dance classes for all ages, holds rehearsals for Yin He Dance Company and resident artists, and where we hold our summer apprenticeship program. The dance center served about 60 students who took classes in Chinese folk, Chinese classical, and kpop dance. The students and apprentices performed at local neighborhood events for about 10,000 audience members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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.
