$30,000 Goal

Bruce Wood Dance reaches approximately 40,000 people per year through dance performances, free community events, low-cost dance workshops and master classes, and free restorative dance outreach classes. Our free dance outreach classes are offered to social service nonprofits giving shelter and care to men, women, and children facing difficult life situations.

Annually, we provide 600 complimentary performance tickets to our partner social service organizations benefiting veterans, the Girl Scouts, at-risk youth, and people of all ages working through addiction, illness, domestic abuse, and mental health challenges. Your generous contribution will assist us in providing some of the many benefits of dance to those in need in our North Texas community.
