Protect Kids in Dance: Your Gift Matters

Our Mission: To provide education and resources to end the hypersexualization of children in dance.

Join Us in Building a Future of Safe, Age-Appropriate Dance

At DA:NCE, we believe every child deserves a joyful, healthy dance experience that honors their innocence and self-worth. Yet, hypersexualization is increasingly common in children’s dance, fueled by media pressures and harmful industry practices. Research shows that this exposure can harm children’s mental health, leading to issues such as anxiety, depression, and body image concerns.

Your support allows us to take action. This year, because of our incredible supporters, we’ve made tremendous strides, including:

Expanded our Healthy Dance Directory to 37 states and five countries, helping parents find studios that teach safe, age-appropriate dance internationally.

Reached thousands of educators and community leaders through the DA:NCE Coalition, presentations, conferences, and advocacy efforts, as well as our LA Times article.
Published in the scholarly publication ‘Dignity Magazine’.
Launched the inaugural Leslie Scott Zanovitch Trailblazer Award, honoring individuals who boldly and consistently champion children’s safety in dance by advocating and supporting age-appropriate choreography, costumes, and music for children.
Gave families and children a voice, reminding the dance industry that healthy movement, not hypersexualization, should define childhood dance.

But we have so much more we want to accomplish!

Your financial gift is an investment in children’s safety and joy in dance. Together, we can create a culture where every child is empowered to dance in safe and healthy ways.
