    Dance Works, Inc.

    Dance Works is dedicated to providing an affordable, accredited, quality dance education to lower-income/disadvantaged children in Memphis, and to providing community performances which are accessible to all and which increase the public's appreciation for dance and the performing arts. Dance Works has been teaching children from all over the Greater Memphis Area since 1987 with scholarship support from ArtsMemphis and teacher/guest artist residencies from the Tennessee Arts Commission. Enthusiastic letters of support from parents have aided us in continuing that funding. Participation in the scholarship program is limited to lower income families on the Memphis City Schools' Free Lunch program, in keeping with the program's objective. In 1993, Dance Works moved to Southwest Tennessee Community College's Union/downtown campus in the Fine Arts, Languages & Literature Department. Dance Works is also included in the Board of Education Kid's Express/21st Century Program through its Community Outreach Program, which enables Dance Works to collaborate with after schools programs. Enrollment is expected to continue to grow as more families take advantage of the opportunity Dance Works offers.
