Dancing For a Purpose…Dancing for a Cause!
Join us for our donation drive and workshop supporting Foodlink of Rochester
We are launching a multi-studio campaign to collect donations (both physical and monetary) to support Foodlink. See below to see a guide on items that can and cannot be donated!
Thank you to those who have already agreed to participate in our drive! In the coming days we will be announcing and thanking each contributing studio.
Collections will run from November 14 - December 14th with a final event to bring together the Rochester dance community to support this cause. Studios are invited to bring their collections and dancers if they're able to to conclude the drive with a fun, collaborative dance class!
Not affiliated with a studio but you still want to attend the event?! Amazing! We’d love to have you. Anyone can register for the event here! Please see the schedule below for times, genres, and age levels being offered. Please note, these are mixed skill level classes. Please note on your registration form your level of experience so that we can better prepare a lesson plan to meet everyone where they’re at!
In addition to collecting non-perishable food items for Foodlink we are also collaborating with our friends @graciousdance on their drive to collect personal and self care items for Angels of Mercy and Willow to support survivors of sexual and domestic violence.
Currently with 5 participating studios. If you're a studio director, owner, administrator, etc. and you'd like to join this cause please email kschultz@stagepresencedance.org for more information!
Can't make it to the event but still want to make a difference? No problem! You can donate directly to Foodlink below - every $1 donated provides 3 meals to families across Rochester in need!

Stage Presence believes that arts and civic engagement go hand-in-hand. Creating community and civic minded individuals is at the cornerstone of our organization supported by our mission, vision, and goals.
With a main goal of bringing the local communities together, Stage Presence aims to host regular free or low cost community dance events with varying styles, and ages in mind. All upcoming community dance events can be located below!
In addition to these regular community engagement events, Stage Presence also seeks to perform regular community service projects not related to dance or the arts! All upcoming service projects will be listed below.
Stage Presence is proud to support Strike it Up Artistic Center through their Chapter of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts. Students in grades 6-12 can join this Chapter to earn points towards induction. The Chapter hosts several of their own service projects throughout the year.
