SUPPORT Xcape Dance Academy this season!

As we head into the Holiday season, the winter months, and a time of slowing down, Xcape Dance needs continued community involvement to support our programming, classes, and the youth and families at our studio who are in need.

Xcape is a NO BARRIERS studio, meaning that we do not turn away students and families if they are unable to pay for classes. Instead, we work very hard on fundraising, grant writing, and gathering donations from the community to allow ALL STUDENTS who wish to participate in our classes and programs the ability to do so. DANCE CHANGES LIVES. WE HAVE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

Your donation will directly help students, our studio space and programs, and families at Xcape Dance Academy and beyond. Any amount that you can contribute helps to keep us doing what we love, and supporting the Eugene and Springfield community at large.
