In May, 2000, the Foundation's dance program, everybody dance!, opened its doors in a low–income housing project just west of downtown. The program started with 35 students in 12 weekly classes. Demand for dance classes was so intense, however, that the program was forced to keep adding classes and establishing wait lists. There are now over 1000 students enrolled in more than 150 weekly dance classes in ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop and modern at three state–of–the–art dance studios in the Pico–Union, Rampart and Koreatown communities of Los Angeles. 

  

With the help and support of many individuals and organizations, everybody dance! is giving Los Angeles' underserved children a chance to expand their potential and broaden their horizons through the arts.  everybody dance! strives to instill in its students a love of dance and the arts, while increasing their chances for a productive future.
