Turning Tables Inc. is dedicated to bridging the gap between minorities and dance, striving for a more equitable and transparent dance space. Our goal is to give minorities the visibility they deserve by increasing dance accessibility and by challenging society’s perspective on dance. Through our initiatives, we aim to educate audiences on discriminatory dance practices, foster dance opportunities for underrepresented youth, expose dance as a viable career option, and provide deserving artists with the resources they need to succeed.
We recognize that dance has the power to transcend boundaries and bring people together. However, minorities often face significant barriers to entry and limited representation within the dance community. Turning Tables Inc. aims to change this narrative by creating a more inclusive and diverse dance environment, where every individual has an equal opportunity to thrive and express themselves.
Our key audiences are dancers of minority descent and dancers who are 18 years old and younger and emerging artists in the field. We believe in empowering these individuals by providing them with the necessary tools, mentorship, and platforms to showcase their talent. Through our programs, we challenge underrepresentation, address biases, redefine standards, foster acceptance, and promote pride in one's cultural heritage.
Turning Tables Inc. works towards its objectives by raising awareness about discriminatory dance practices and advocating for change. We collaborate with dance institutions, educators, and community leaders to create educational initiatives that highlight the importance of inclusivity and diversity within the dance world. By partnering with local organizations, we provide dance opportunities to underrepresented youth, nurturing their passion and talent while promoting personal growth and self-confidence.
We also aim to shift the narrative around dance as a viable career option. We believe that dance is not only a form of artistic expression but also a profession deserving of recognition and support. Through mentorship programs, workshops, and networking opportunities, we connect aspiring dancers with industry professionals, helping them navigate the path to success and break down barriers to entry.
Turning Tables Inc. is committed to fostering a dance community where every individual is celebrated, regardless of their background or ethnicity. We believe that by embracing diversity, challenging biases, and promoting inclusivity, we can create a dance world that truly reflects the beauty and richness of our global society.
Join us in our mission to turn the tables on the dance industry and create a more equitable and transparent space for all dancers. Together, we can rewrite the narrative, inspire change, and ensure that every talented individual has the opportunity to shine.
