About Us
Black Dance Change Makers is a group of Black dancers redefining performance through choreographed movements of change. We unite and uplift our community through leadership, education, and service.
By intentionally building a community that moves with curiosity, and centers personhood and collective care, we work to honor the legacies of those who have come before us and blaze a safe and inclusive path for those who will change the world after us.

House Rules
Black Dance Change Makers is designed for people who want to be a part of an ever-growing, ever-changing, ever learning community. We are always learning and unlearning, and although we have so much in common, we all have implicit biases, so unfortunately nothing we can do will make this space 100% safe for everyone.
What we can promise though, as true Change Makers, is to commit to doing our best to build a space where people can bring their whole selves, and where there is safety in the ability to speak truths and hold each other accountable.
As we move and grow together, so will our needs and expectations of each other. Change Makers are expected to honor the community guidelines, as they continuously shift to better serve everyone in our community.
