We are a registered 501c3 non-profit charitable institute that provides global access to culturally sensitive dance-based body-trust™ programs for a diverse population of girls and women.
Find out about our plan, rationale, purpose, practice, and methods here:
The Institute was incorporated in the Fall of 2023, and our United States IRS status as a 501(c)3 charitable institute was approved in Summer 2024.
Both research and evidence-based practices show that dance produces social bonding, mental acuity, well-being, and improves health outcomes and self-advocacy throughout the life-span. As the importance of the arts in mental and physical health continues to be recognized, the impact of dance grows in value.
Girls, women, and people AFAB deserve better education about how our bodies work, fun and safe activities, cultural grounding, and psycho-social support. Whatever point that we become girls and women, and whether or not we choose or are able to have children, our reproductive life cycle strongly determines the rhythm and quality of our lives. Accurate knowledge of our anatomy, its physics and physiology, hormonal drifts, assets and liabilities have yet to be established. Thus, we undertake this project: the DTP Institute.
