A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT OUR

STUDIO

Pacific Northwest Dance Foundation provides dance and performing arts education to all ages and abilities. The purpose of this organization is:

●  To sponsor, host, and/or participate in events and activities that      promote the art of dance and collaborations that include dance.

●  To provide performance and choreographic opportunities for          dancers who would not have these opportunities otherwise.
