Mission Statement
The Pointe Circle is a volunteer-driven nonprofit united by a shared passion for dance, a commitment to community, and a dedication to meaningful service. We welcome dancers of all styles, artists across disciplines, and anyone eager to make a difference through movement and outreach. Together, we celebrate the joy of dance while creating lasting impact through performances, collaborations, and community service.
Dance is more than movement — it is a language that bridges generations, cultures, and communities. At The Pointe Circle, we believe every performance, every outreach event, and every service project has the power to uplift someone's day, spark a child's imagination, or bring comfort to a family in need. Our dancers bring not just technique, but heart.
Founded by students determined to put their passion to greater purpose, The Pointe Circle has grown into a vibrant community of artists and volunteers united by one simple belief: that the arts belong to everyone. Whether we're reading stories at a library, dancing for seniors, performing at the Ronald McDonald House, or collecting donations for children in need — we show up, together.
What We Do
Ballerina & Bilingual Storytime
We bring the magic of ballet to children through storytelling sessions at schools, libraries, and community centers — some bilingual, all enchanting — sparking imagination and a lifelong love of the arts.
Senior House Performance
We visit senior living communities to share live ballet performances, creating joyful intergenerational connections and bringing warmth and joy to those who cherish them most.
Ronald McDonald House
We partner with Ronald McDonald House to perform for families staying near hospitals — offering a moment of beauty and joy during a stressful time.
Service Drive
We organize community drives to collect gently used dancewear, books, and toys, then distribute them to local shelters, schools, and programs for children in need.
Community Partnerships
We collaborate with fellow arts groups, nonprofits, and cultural organizations to co-create performances and events — amplifying our reach and bringing dance to more corners of the community.
Community Performance
We take our love of dance and music beyond the stage, performing at libraries, community centers, and public events to share the joy of the arts with audiences of all ages.
More to Come
We're always dreaming up new ways to serve our community. Stay tuned for what's next!
