Let's change the future of dance together

A survey of dancers' mental wellness found that 75% of dancers reported experiencing a mental health challenge in the past five years. And 81% of those dancers don't feel the dance community does enough to support mental health.

Danscend is on a mission to change that.

In partnership with an advisory board of mental health professionals, Danscend offers virtual real-time workshops for dancers, educators, and dance families.

We know each studio and organization is different, so Danscend mental wellness workshops are customizable to fit your dancers', educators', or organizations' needs. We craft and schedule each workshop based on the mental wellness-related topics of your choice and the schedule of your organization.

It’s rare to find a program that understands dancers so deeply, and Danscend delivered exactly what our students needed. Highly recommend their workshops to every dance program looking to support both artistry and mental well-being!
