Let the momentum bloom, support empowerment!

At Dance against violence (DCV), we believe that the body is a space of dignity and empowerment. Since 2010, our mission has been to offer unique corporal support to people who have experienced violence through movement workshops.

More than a workshop program, DCV is a space for repair, empowerment, and solidarity. Every guided movement, every shared breath, every danced gesture is an affirmation: the dignity, presence, and strength of people experiencing violence deserve to be supported and honored. 

For our 15th anniversary, we want to go further: forge new alliances, increase the visibility of our work and strengthen the sustainability of this program, which offers a vital space for well-being and building confidence. 

Our "15 Years of Blossoming" campaign embodies these last 15 years of seeing damaged bodies bloom again, transforming vulnerability into strength, isolation into community, and fear into confidence. Your donation makes hope bloom where silence had settled. 

🌸 WHY $15,000 ?

A symbolic and strategic goal

• $15,000 for 15 years of impact: Every dollar raised celebrates a year of resilience, movement, and empowerment. It's our way of saying, "15 years of commitment, 15,000 reasons to continue".

• A real and concrete need: Your money will contribute to the funding needed to maintain and develop our activities as demand continues to grow (increase in workshop requests, development of mother-child workshops).

WHY SUPPORT DCV?

💜 Because trauma leaves physical traces. The body forgets nothing. Reconstruction through movement requires time, kindness, and adapted resources. 

💜 Because talk-based approaches are not always enough. DCV offers an essential complement to classic psychosocial support. 

💜 Because every donation has a concrete impact. $30 covers the transport of a facilitator to a shelter. $300 funds a complete workshop.

💜 Because you support committed artistic expertise. Our dancer-facilitators are trained professionals and are paid for the workshops they give. By making a donation, you encourage and value their work.
