"Gift what you can give" donations will help keep Lehigh Valley Dance Exchange moving!

In 2024, Lehigh Valley Dance Exchange spent 85% of its budget to pay 20 artists who either taught, performed, or helped facilitate programs that kept dance thriving in the Lehigh Valley. The remaining 15% went towards boring but necessary things like website hosting and marketing to make sure people know about dance happening in the Valley. We have been doing this since 2009, and we need your help.

It takes at least $6,000 to produce our annual programming which will include our 14th Annual SpringUP Dance Festival, scholarships for students in financial need, master classes & workshops, and performance opportunities like Dance EXposure at SteelStacks.

With your donation gift, you are getting our organization closer to achieving our $3,000 fundraising goal by January 1, 2026. Thank you for helping Lehigh Valley Dance Exchange, which then directly helps the individual dance artists that make our local community vibrant.
