DONATE TO VELOCITY
TO BUILD MOMENTUM WITH US TODAY
Your gift helps artists grow and create new work, while making opportunities to experience and learn dance more accessible to everyone.
Velocity accepts tax-deductible donations through the link below. If you’d like to give another way, please get in touch. Thank you for investing in Seattle dance!
Because of Bridge Project, I have become more clear about my purpose in this world, in the Seattle dance community, and in my art form. I am a dreamer that can often be scared of my own potential. Bridge Project was the perfect incubator to allow my dreams to flourish.
Community is genuinely built and supported at Velocity.
SFD+I is an example of what a dance festival can do at the highest level. It was reliable as a participant and is reliable now as a faculty. I can’t say I’ve experienced that anywhere else in the world.
