DuDance is a non-profit organization using dance to build community and spark social innovation. 

 

Mission: We DuDance to harness the power of dance to make the world happier, healthier, and more connected.

Vision: A world full of love where dance and music is used to promote connection, authenticity, and expression.

Creating a happier, healthier, more connected world—one dance at a time.

Core Beliefs:

We believe dance is a powerful vehicle for connection and compassion.

We believe through community and movement, dancing can drive social innovation and change.

What We Do:

We use dance as a tool for self-expression, connection, and positive change. Our programs serve people by teaching movement as a means of communication, confidence-building, and creative growth.

The DuGood Network builds a real-world community of socially conscious dancers through purpose-driven dance events. These dance parties are hosted at partner venues, with a portion of the proceeds donated to charitable causes—turning a night of dancing into meaningful impact.

Our media programs share powerful stories of lives influenced by dance and document the outcomes of our dance-based social initiatives. The Power of Dance series highlights individuals and organizations using movement to improve their lives and strengthen their communities. Past projects have featured a Ph.D. economics professor using ballroom dance to manage Parkinson’s, nonprofit programs bringing movement to hospitalized children, and many other inspiring examples. Through The Smile Experiment, conducted in 20 cities nationwide, we found that even a few minutes of dancing consistently leaves participants smiling.

We are always seeking partners, dance instructors, and volunteers. We invite you to DuDance with us.
