Our mission is to promote the health and fitness side of dance to the Youth of America, while encompassing the ideals of persistence, perseverance, passion, and positivity. We prove that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. Students learn that no dream is too large or small--you can do absolutely anything you set your mind to, as long as you work hard. Our team is living proof that anything is possible and through the Arts, we're proud to teach future generations to "Never Give Up!"

Coast 2 Coast: Dance Across America is an organization committed to bringing the joy of the arts to those who may not always have the opportunity. The organization brings Master Dance Classes free of charge to dancers and dance studios nationwide, bringing the "big city" experience to rural areas at no cost. We award $1000 worth of scholarships to a dancers in the Hudson Valley, NY as a thank you for helping to “Pay-it-Forward” to those in need nationwide. After dancers around the country participate in the Master Dance Class, they are encouraged to apply for three (3)  Dance Scholarships ($1000, $500, & $250) which are paid in their name to continue dancing at their home dance studio in their home state. Over the past three years, our program has awarded over $5000 in scholarships, reached 35+ States, 50+ Dance Studios, and 3000+ Dancers. Our program is free to students because we feel that money should not hold someone back from pursing their passion.
