Viva Dance Center for the Arts Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community arts center dedicated to cultural education, healing through movement, and making the arts accessible to all.
More than just a dance studio, Viva serves as a collaborative community hub where diverse artists, educators, and cultural programs come together to provide inclusive, high-quality experiences for children, adults, and families. Through community rates, price-matching services, and accessible programming, we work to ensure that financial barriers never stand in the way of artistic growth, wellness, or connection.
Our center offers culturally grounded dance and movement education in Middle Eastern, Latin, Afro-Caribbean, Contemporary, and other expressive arts disciplines, while also providing wellness workshops, healing-centered activities, and community gatherings designed to nurture the whole person.
Unlike traditional competitive studio models, Viva is rooted in community, collaboration, and empowerment. Our mission is to build self-esteem, confidence, positive socialization, physical wellness, and cultural appreciation while preserving and honoring the traditions that shape our identities.
As a Christian-based arts center, Viva is designed to be a safe haven where faith, movement, and purpose align. We strive to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit to lead with love, uplift through the arts, promote healing, and create a welcoming environment where every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
