The Urgent Need
Limited Space
In our current shared facility, we've endured repeated setbacks 4 from broken mirrors and missing costumes to unsanitary incidents that compromise the safety and dignity of our students.
Scheduling Challenges
Lack of consistent access to studios limits our ability to expand programming, host performances, and grow our community impact.
Ownership
It's clear: our young artists deserve a space that reflects the excellence we teach and the care they deserve.
Creating a Lasting Impact
"At Full Circle, we're not just building dancers - we're building leaders, thinkers, and change-makers who will transform our community for generations to come."
With our permanent home, we'll increase our impact:
-
Serve 350+ students and families
-
Create 10+ new jobs in arts education and administration
-
Launch 10 new community programs focusing on wellness, financial literacy, and creative entrepreneurship
-
Our community kitchen and garden provide hands-on learning experiences where youth, families, and seniors can explore the joy of growing, preparing, and sharing nutritious meals. From planting seeds to cooking plant-based dishes, we're cultivating a culture of wellness that nourishes both body and spirit - and reconnects our community to the healing power of food and the land.
