Step Together. Give Together.

Dance with E.N.A. was founded on the principle of community. We believe that together we can make our society stronger, more beautiful, and more loved. Step Together is E.N.A.’s Community Action program dedicated to local causes, dance outreach, and dance education. 

Why Step Together?

The program officially launched in April 2020 during a trying time for many communities and businesses worldwide. Dance with E.N.A. sought community support for upcoming youth programs. Thank you to everyone who invested in us and more importantly, our students! By the end of April, E.N.A. felt the urgency to give back in the same way our neighbors supported us. In May, we extended the program beyond the bounds of our academy, aiming to raise awareness, build allies, and gain support for our community. At E.N.A., we are committed to our Community Action program and will host regular charitable dance opportunities, perform within the community through local events, and teach regularly in our local schools and programs.

We want to make a difference together, and dance for joy while we do it! Join the movement, let’s step together.
