"Every Dance is Another Chance"

Welcome
to Dance for paws

At Dance for Paws, we believe that movement can create change. We raise funds and awareness for animal shelters through dance-driven campaigns and community engagement.

What We Do

Dance for Paws envisions becoming a vibrant, creative, compassionate community that speaks up for the voiceless. By harnessing the transformative power of art, we can create positive change in the world. Our vision is to organize dance-related events nationwide and globally, leveraging the funds raised to support and expand our contributions to animal rescue organizations. Each step we dance honors the paw prints left forever on our hearts and those waiting for or never finding a heart to fill. As artists with a spirit to bring beauty to the world, we dream of building a world where every animal is cared for, loved, and has a place to call home.

Fundraising Through Dance to Support Animal Welfare

At Dance for Paws, we use the power of dance to make a difference. Through vibrant performances, community events, and ticketed showcases, we raise crucial funds that directly benefit animal rescues, no-kill shelters, and veterinary clinics. Every donation and dollar raised fuels life-saving work for animals in need.

Advocating for Ethical Animal Care and Rescue

We proudly partner with trusted, reputable organizations that are making a meaningful impact in animal welfare. Our efforts focus on reducing and ultimately eliminating the euthanasia of homeless pets by supporting initiatives that promote adoption, foster care, and sustainable rescue operations.

Raising Awareness and Celebrating Pet Companionship for Animal Welfare

Education is key to change. We’re dedicated to informing the public about the importance of adopting rather than buying, ending breed discrimination, and fostering animals in transition. Through outreach and storytelling, we also spotlight the many joys and emotional benefits of pet companionship.

Our last event helped raise funds for these three lifesaving organizations:

Best Friends Animal Society - "Save Them All"
Animal Medical Center - AMC to the Rescue Fund
Muddy Paws Rescue

Join us!

By supporting Dance for Paws, you’re not only enjoying the beauty and inspiration of the performing arts, but also contributing to a critical cause. Together, we can make the future a better place for animals in need.

Join our journey by attending our events in New York City, donating to our cause, or following us on social media. Your steps can become a dance, too, by simply pledging to adopt, fostering a homeless animal, or standing against breed discrimination.
