Festival Funding

The Cultural Ties Dance Festival thrives on the generous sponsorships from community organizations and dedicated individuals like you. We share your deep-rooted passion for the history, culture, and movement of the African Diaspora, intricately woven into the vibrant cultural fabric of New Orleans. Each year, we eagerly anticipate enhancing and expanding the festival experience!

Your generous donation to the Cultural Ties Dance Festival directly supports numerous local professional performing artists. Additionally, your contributions help fund dance scholarships for the youth dance intensive, fostering a unique opportunity for individuals to celebrate New Orleans’ cultural communities through dance. Our Summer Festival offers dance classes for both adults and children, featuring a Youth and Young Adult Dance Intensive for ages 8–25, alongside a Community Festival that includes dance workshops, exhibits, dance concerts, and lectures for all ages.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and are honored by the community’s commitment to this cultural celebration. Join us once again as we prepare for a spectacular dance extravaganza!
