The Dance Complex
Towering high above the Massachusetts Avenue skyline and nestled in the heart of central square Cambridge there sits a historic dance building, where every week over 1,200 movers come to build dance.



Our Dream
It has been a long-standing dream to expand our programmatic offerings and establish a street-level, accessible space in the already vibrant community of Central Square, Cambridge.  Thousands of people hear the music pouring out of our building, but they do not get to see or be inspired by the moving art that is being created within.

With $55,000 from our community, we will be able to complete our renovations for a multi-functional rehearsal, performance, and event space - Studio 7.  The final elements of the project include sound containment, ventilation, and a new facade. This new facade will mark a transformation wherein The Dance Complex will have a street level presence, where dance will have a portal to the community, and the community will have a view in on the beauty of bodies in motion. 



Why give to The Dance Complex
The Dance Complex is a model arts organization, bringing tremendous diversity, arts appreciation, instruction, and mentorship to the local community including:
-90  classes per week
-38 distinct movement styles
-home to 33 local dance companies
-subsidized studio and performance for dance artists
-internationally recognized teaching artists and guests
-award winning choreographers in performance
-robust programming and mentorship

The Dance Complex  is run by 7 part-time employees, and the dedication of a corps of over 100 workstudy volunteers.


 

While we are rich in very many ways we must invest in our future.  We call on all those who love The Dance Complex, who love dance, who want to see a secure and bright future for dance...we call on you for your help.


Our Future
Over the last 24 months The Dance Complex has undergone remarkable growth--we have raised $58,000 towards our multi-year fundraising campaign.  We are so excited to be forging partnerships with organizations and foundations that further The Dance Complex's mission and renewed goal to make dance truly accessible to all.  We are just now celebrating the unprecedented gift of $500,000 from The Barr Foundation. 

At this pivotal moment we are turning to you, our community.  We ask you to take a stake in the future of The Dance Complex. Please partner with us to raise $55,000 to complete and unveil our first-ever street level rehearsal, performance, and event space.
