Goal Reached 🎉

We are in awe of how quickly and generously our community responded to our Save The Studio campaign (see details below). We are thrilled that we reached our $40k goal in advance of our October 28th due date. Thank you to everyone who donated, circulated, raised funds, and shared encouraging words during this time.

This campaign will remain live until we launch our next one. Funds contributed over $40,000 will greatly support the studio during the upcoming months as we prepare our sustainability plan and navigate a time when holidays and closures reduce our income.

Save The Studio

We’re facing a critical moment - and we need your help.

Over the last three years, Boston Dance Studios has served as a home for thousands of dancers, educators, guest artists, and community members. This studio has always been more than four walls; it’s been a sanctuary for movement, healing, creativity, and connection.

But now, we’re at risk of losing it all.

Why We’re Fundraising:
Due to a combination of external challenges - loss of regular rental income from university partners like Suffolk (due to their budget cuts), lower attendance, and the broader impact of today’s political and economic climate - we’ve hit a financial wall.

Our incredibly gracious landlord has officially given notice: we have until October 28th to cover rent for September and October and outstanding rent from our first year - a total of $40,000 - or we will be forced to close our doors.

What We’re Asking:
We’re calling on our community - friends, dancers, artists, alumni, neighbors, and supporters - to help us raise $40,000 in 30 days to save the studio.

Every single donation helps. Whether you give $5 or $500, you’re part of the reason we can keep this space open for movement, art, and growth.

How Funds Will Be Used:

$20,156: Rent for Sept & Oct 2025
$20,000: Back rent from our first year
Any additional funds will go toward:
- Securing a more sustainable space in 2026
- Building more accessible programming
- Expanding rentals and long-term revenue strategies

Additional Ways to Support:

If you’ve ever danced here, taught here, healed here, or simply felt held in this space - please help us keep it going.
