My Project

In our dance program, students bring their passion, energy, and creativity to every movement. However, for many of our dancers, access to essential feminine hygiene products can be a challenge. By providing these necessities in our dance space, we can remove barriers, foster an equitable environment, and ensure that no student has to miss out due to a lack of resources.

Having these products readily available saves students a trip to the nurse, allowing them to stay engaged in class and focus on their artistry without discomfort or worry.

More importantly, it creates a safe and supportive space where they can take care of their personal needs with dignity.

Your support will help us stock our studio with pads, tampons, and other essentials, empowering our dancers to show up as their best selves—confident, comfortable, and ready to move! Thank you for helping us build a community of care and inclusivity.
