LET'S GET ACQUAINTED

Dance as Resilience and Identity

One hot afternoon on the Fort Hall Reservation, I watched kids turn a dusty parking lot into their own dance floor. There was no studio, no mirrors, no teacher—just music, laughter, and the kind of joy that comes from creating something out of nothing. That’s when it hit me: dance isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline.

That moment inspired me to start En Pointe Dreams, so no child’s passion for dance would be limited by circumstance. We collect and donate dance shoes, offer free classes, and host workshops that help kids express themselves through movement.

But it’s about more than dance steps. It’s about confidence, creativity, and belonging, showing every child that their story, their movement, and their dreams matter.

Every step tells a story. Please help those stories soar.
