As many of you have seen in the headlines, young dancers throughout Lake Charles, LA have lost their homes, supplies, and even schools to Hurricane Laura. Now that the storm has subsided, the real work may begin.
The Helping Hands campaign was first established as a result of Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and has proven successful through subsequent storms such as Imelda. During this time we were able to collect new and gently used donations from across the country along with donations in order to purchase new items of need for over 200 young dancers in our community. As a part of the SETX dance community, Aimed Dance is committed to dance education and that includes having the supplies and items necessary for success.
Donations have already arrived at Aimed Dance Headquarters. This event is open to anyone who is in need of dance supplies. No questions asked.
You can join forces with our organizational family by donating new and gently uses items or making a tax deductible monetary donation below. Help us bring a sense of normalcy back to our young students in a time of confusion and chaos. No amount is too small when a community can band together in love and compassion.
Aimed Dance, a 501(c)3 nonprofit performing arts organization, is dedicated to the awareness of and value for dance as fine art in our community.

"While I dance I can not judge, I can not hate, I can not separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. This is why I dance."
