Capital Campaign: Black Girls Dance® to Full Circle
Tax deductible
Dear friends and supporters,
In 2005 I was a professional dancer living in Philadelphia. I discovered vision boards and on my very first one I wrote 3 words that would guide the trajectory of my life and become my mission: Full Circle Studio.
That dream has followed me from Broadway back to the South Side. And now… that dream is ready to become a building.
We’ve found the site.
We’ve rallied community partners.
We’ve created the programs.
And now, we are on the brink of acquiring the Full Circle Performing Arts Center — a safe, and stunning space where:
- Children train in dance, drama, and voice — right in their own neighborhood.
- Moms access movement classes and wellness resources for their own healing.
- Families learn plant-based cooking for better health and longer lives. Seniors gain tech and financial literacy.
- Black and Brown girls see themselves as leaders — not someday, but now.
This is not just a dance studio.
It’s an intergenerational hub of healing, ownership, and opportunity.
A blueprint for what’s possible when we invest in our people.
Why We Need Your Help Now
To unlock bridge funding from our lender and move forward with acquisition and construction, we must raise $1 million from our community and champions like you.
How You Can Be Part of the Vision
We’re inviting you to be part of this legacy.
Whether you give $25 or $25,000 — every gift is a brick in this foundation.
Your support tells our girls:
“You are worth the investment. Your dreams matter. Your future is being built right now.”
We will be posting photos, videos, and updates every step of the way — so you can see the impact of your giving in real time. Because this isn’t just our story. It’s yours too.
Help us raise $1 million to open the doors. Share this with your village.
❤️ Let’s build Full Circle — together.
