Ignite Dance Co
Our Mission
At Ignite Dance Co., our mission is to empower and ignite individuals through the art of dance—using movement as a catalyst for healing, hope, and human connection.
We believe dance is more than choreography—it’s a language of resilience, expression, and belonging that bridges art and science to transform lives and communities.
Our Vision
​We envision a world where every individual—regardless of age, ability, or background—
has access to the emotional, physical, and social benefits of dance.
Through creativity and compassion, we aim to spark a movement that:
​
-
Builds protective factors that support emotional well-being.
-
Fosters connection and belonging in diverse communities.
-
Cultivates resilience, confidence, and joy through movement.
-
Expands access to dance as a transformative and therapeutic artform.
Ignite’s programs are grounded in the principles of Applied Positive Psychology, integrating evidence-based concepts such as flow, creativity, hope, and resilience with the expressive power of movement.
​
We combine:
-
The discipline and beauty of traditional dance education.
-
The adaptability and empathy of community engagement.
-
The healing and empowerment of creative movement practices.
By meeting individuals where they are, we create safe spaces for exploration, expression, and growth—whether on stage, in a classroom, or within the heart of the community.
