The Follies Girls is a 501c3 non-profit, dance-based performance and variety arts organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering women of all ages, body types, and walks of life to explore performing arts as an option for personal growth, ongoing development, advocacy, and modeling for younger generations to confront stereotypes of women.
We believe in helping and educating women to find their place in the performing and variety arts no matter when they begin their journey and believe that all women should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams of performing or being involved within these artistic outlets.
We believe that beauty, personal growth and ability is not defined by age or a particular body type, and that all women with a heart, mind and dedication to develop within the performing arts should have the opportunity to explore the various pathways to performance or behind the scenes endeavors for productions.
We pursue these missions, values and beliefs within the model of variety entertainment bringing the historical artforms of dance, song, vaudeville and other entertainment to the public as we work to assure ongoing preservation and evolution of these formats into a modern sensibility.
In what ways are donations, sponsorships and monitary contributions applied?
Your donations and support is vital to assuring our work keeps elevating the lives of our community.
Your generous financial contributions are directed towards compensating our committed instructors, choreographers, and performers for their invaluable efforts. We strive to create meaningful job and performance opportunities for dancers, musicians, visual artists, and others in our vibrant local and regional community.
