At EXHALE Dance Company, we provide post-college dancers with paid performance opportunities, mentorship, and holistic support that nurtures both their artistry and well-being.

Your donation creates movement—on stage and in lives.

  • Funding paid professional jobs
  • Protecting creative talent from loss
  • Investing in human potential
  • Strengthening communities through art
  • Building a future where passion and livelihood coexist
  • Our ambition is to raise $500 million annually.
    This ambitious goal reflects the scale of the need—and our commitment to ensuring dancers are not just trained, but supported, compensated, and able to build sustainable careers in the arts.

    EXHALE addresses a critical gap in the dance ecosystem by creating paid, professional opportunities for newly graduated dancers—at the moment their careers are most vulnerable.

    We reject the notion that artists must “pay their dues” through financial hardship.

    We refuse to force a choice between artistic passion and basic survival.

    And we do not treat talent as expendable.

    At EXHALE, dancers are paid for their craft—because work deserves fair wages, and art deserves dignity.
