About Latin Dance 918
Latin Dance 918 is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion, education, and preservation of Afro-Caribbean/Latin culture through dance in our region. We exist to cultivate an equitable and collaborative community that is safe, inclusive & welcoming. We provide access to dance with our pay-what-you-can model to dancers of all skill levels and backgrounds via classes, socials, performances, and recreational dance teams (Ritmo 918).
​
Our mission is to offer everyone the opportunity to experience the joy and collective healing of Afro-Caribbean/Latin dancing in an inclusive community.
​
Our vision is dance and healing for all in a united community.
If you are able, we'd appreciate your tax-deductible donations for us to continue increasing access to dance. Anything helps. All donors that contribute over $100 will be recognized on our sponsor/donor page and sent a receipt of donation by Dec. 31st. Thank you so much for your generosity and for your support!
Core Values
Our core values are easy to remember because together they spell TACOS! We believe in building trust because it is the foundation of quality human relationships. We strive to increase access to the healing power of dance by having a pay-what-you-can model. We believe in the power of community and creating a welcoming space. We believe in ongoing growth, always striving to improve not just in our dance skills, but also as human beings. Finally, we promote lifting each other up through sisterhood and
significance, honoring our ancestors, those who came before us and opened doors for us, and remembering those who left us too soon.
