Classes include creative dance, modern, ballet, and hip hop. Summer programming included multi-arts camps and a Teen Intensive sharing culturally diverse dance forms. Educator/Community Workshops offered professional development and personal enrichment for adults. CDC began sharing free dance with Mary's Place in 2016 - Mary's Place provides shelter and helps women and families move out of homelessness into more stable situations. A CDC teaching artist brought dance to children in two Mary's Place locations as part of their Tots and Kids Clubs programming, which aims to reduce trauma and provide a safe place for children. Creative Dance Center is on the Community Arts Roster for the Creative Advantage, a partnership of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Public Schools. During the 2024-2025 school year, CDC partnered with Wedgwood and Bryant Elementary schools, and CDC teaching artists taught dance to grades K-5 through the Creative Advantage program. CDC also provided weekly dance classes to grades K-1 during the school year at the French American School of Puget Sound. Scholarships and tuition assistance were provided to families and students who would not be able to access CDC programs otherwise. CDC is an institutional member of the National Dance Education Organization and Dance and the Child International.Expenses $316,371 · grants $10,184 · revenue $294,872
