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.

About ArtsMemphis
- Known around the world for its blues and rock and roll, Memphis has a recognizable special vibe. ArtsMemphis exists to nurture this unique character and to magnify the city’s creative voice. We are a 45-year-old arts funding organization (the sixth largest in the United States), which provides annual operating and project support to 23 arts groups and administers some 150 additional grants on a year to year basis. The ArtsMemphis tagline is “your support matters” and indeed it does. As major fundraisers, grant-makers and arts promoters in the city, ArtsMemphis contributed more than $4 million to the Memphis arts community in 2007, and it is a fact that 95 cents of every dollar raised in our annual campaign is directed to our funded organizations. ArtsMemphis builds partnerships among artists, arts groups, donors, educators and culture lovers throughout the city and region. Recognizing that a lively arts scene has a major economic impact and is essential to the quality of life in Memphis, ArtsMemphis is encouraging the entire community to interact with the arts like never before. The current enhanced website with its expanded calendar of events has been introduced with that goal in mind.
Bravo Memphis
