In the early hours of the morning, a devastating fire struck the home of our executive artistic director, Allyne, and assistant artistic director, Mr. C. Thanks to the quick actions of neighbors and the grace of God, both made it out safely. However, the fire caused extensive damage, resulting in the total loss of Atlanta Dance Connection’s costume closet, props, and essential office equipment. As we begin our 16th season serving Atlanta’s vibrant artistic community, this loss comes just weeks before our first tour date, putting our upcoming performances and the work of our dedicated artists at risk.


For sixteen years, Atlanta Dance Connection has provided a home for artists to train, grow, and share their talents with audiences across the country. Our company is a place where creativity thrives and dancers are empowered to reach their full potential. The loss of our costumes and equipment is a major setback, but our spirit remains unbroken. We are hopeful, grateful, and resilient, determined to recover and continue our mission.


We are reaching out to our community for support to help us replace what was lost and ensure our dancers can take the stage this season. Every donation will go directly toward costumes, props, and the tools our artists need to shine. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing our fundraiser with your network. Your support, in any form, will help Atlanta Dance Connection rise from this challenge and keep the arts alive in Atlanta.
