Who we are

Creating opportunity, one step at a time.

At The Fordney Foundation, dance is more than movement. It is a way for young people to build discipline, creativity, self-expression, and connection.

Our focus includes DanceSport education, youth scholarships, competition grants, and accessible programs that bring dance into learning environments.

We believe young dancers deserve encouragement and pathways to develop their talents—regardless of their circumstances.
