Flood Support Fund
Tax deductible
A torrent of water from burst pipes has flooded Detroit-Windsor Dance Academy’s (DWDA) second-floor Midtown Detroit studio, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and halting plans to resume it operations, leaving them homeless.
DWDA, which for 37 years has provided high-quality training in ballet, jazz, hip-hop and many other dance styles to Detroit youth, including underserved and at risk youth, is now seeking the public’s support as it tries to find a new home. Not only were walls and furniture destroyed as a result of the flood, but also equipment, costumes, props, original artwork and archival footage, as well as thousands of dollars of professional dance flooring.
DWDA’s youth and adult companies have danced throughout the world, from Capetown, South Africa, to Sydney, Australia and have compiled an impressive record of critical acclaim. DWDA has positively impacted the lives of over 15,000+ youth and families and has become a mainstay in the Detroit-Windsor Arts and Culture landscape. Please help to #keepDWDAdancing.
