Free 2 Be Me Dance offers adaptive dance classes in hip hop and ballet to encourage the confidence, strength and creativity within each dancer. Through specialized instruction and evidence-based techniques such as BrainDance, dancers develop physical, social and emotional skills that support meaningful connections and better quality of life. Such outcomes include the development of self-confidence, empathy, communal spirit, active listening, coordination, focus and creativity. Our approach is rooted in meaningful connections, meeting each dancer where they are at, and ensuring they feel genuinely loved, supported and celebrated from the moment they walk in the door.

We also offer scholarships to any family who needs one. On average 70% of our families receive a full or partial scholarship. We never turn anyone away for lack of finances. Our program prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity in order to bring dance to those who are otherwise excluded from the dance community and ultimately, to create a space where each dancer knows they are loved, validated and deserving of the best life. Furthermore, whilst Free 2 Be Me Dance primarily serves those in the Los Angeles area, the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed us to offer our program to dancers world-wide through live Zoom classes. The Zoom platform has opened doors in many ways for our dancers by making classes more accessible to those who need the flexibility of online learning.
