We have been since January 2024 in our little studio of around 350 square feet but we have outgrown the space for our rehearsals at this time, and this limits our abilities to also provide low cost community dance and performing arts classes as a means to meet our goals and missions of keeping women of all ages, all sizes, all levels of ability, and all walks of life dancing through every age and stage of life.

We have located a space that doubles our current space, and allows us as an organization to have rehearsals where everyone can fit on the dancefloor, is able to manage our props and costumes closet and all other large items (chairs especially), without impacting the space further. This is a reasonable and responsible upgrade at this time and allows us to maintain our small studio that started it all with current budgets in place.

We simply need help raising our funds for move in by 08/01/2025 which we know is a big ask; but it would provide our initial security deposit as we are able to manage the rent as of 08/01/2025, plus pay for 6 more mirrors and installation in this new space. It would help us continue to grow, develop and continue to become stronger as a performance arts organization and as everyone tells us, we keep leveling up each show with the education, polishing and encouragement we provide to our member-performers. That means a lot. 2024 was our rebuilding year and 2025 is our strengthening year.

We officially became a non-profit arts organization after careful review with our accounting team and our member-performers. It was the clear direction to head in a dream that began back in 2012. We were granted our non-profit status in 1/1/2025, and soon after 1/20/2025, federal and local arts grants were severely gutted. We had worked so hard to get just a little bit of support for the first time, and submitted carefully written proposals. It was a gut-punch in a year that has felt like a gut-punch time and time again.

Throughout this time though we have banded together, worked very hard and focused on our goals of providing a little levity in a time of turmoil, and boldly putting our mission and vision right in front of the audiences of East Tennessee. The audiences showed up and we are beyond grateful to continue to strengthen and impress you as we work to entertain you.

If you can help and also share this campaign, as the heat is on towards our deadline, we are extremely happy to provide you with a receipt for your donation due to our 501c3 status as an arts organization here in East Tennessee, where we're proud to be!
