Dancewave is the dance education nonprofit that focuses on the development of the whole person through a dance experience accessible to all. Our unique model combines rigorous training with artistic integrity, and access for all, in a supportive environment. Students are mentored by accomplished dance professionals, which allows for personal growth as well as superior dance education. Dancers have the opportunity to join our pre-professional dance companies, where they gain technical proficiency and self-confidence through training, rehearsals, and performances. Dancewave brings together a diverse community of young people through dance education and performance. We believe that dance provides a forum for meaningful, positive exchange between kids of all backgrounds and cultures. Since its inception in 1995 by Diane Jacobowitz, Artistic/Executive Director, Dancewave has created programs that are challenging and artistically substantial, and which address young people's needs for individual achievement and group identity. Our pre-professional dance education and performance training programs offer young people a rare combination of high-level artistic integrity, educational rigor, and nurturing support.

DANCE ARTS ACADEMY INC is a company based out of 731 S LA BREA AVENUE, LOS ANGELES, California, United States.

In 2012, Julianna Rubio Slager and Amy Kozol Sanderson founded Ballet 5:8. As leading companies cycled through the same classic works, they saw this beautiful art form becoming stagnant and in danger of missing the next generation. They founded Ballet 5:8 to tell stories of the 21st century while retaining the classic beauty of ballet. For Ballet 5:8, faith is an important aspect of meaningful storytelling. Drawing from inspiration from Christian belief, each Ballet 5:8 performance wrestles with themes that portray both the darkness and hope of life in the modern context. The School of Ballet 5:8 extends the company's mission to over 400 students each year at campuses in Orland Park and Chicago (Beverly), IL. The school includes a nationally-recognized classical ballet training program, a range of recreational dance classes for all ages and levels of ability. Ballet 5:8 is passionate about body-positive, kind, scientific training that benefits the individual dancer. It is our honor to invest in our local communities through accessible, high-quality dance education.
