Ballet after dark is a wonderfully supportive non-profit organization providing women and girls with innovative ways to heal their traumas. Our mission is to offer somatic interventions, trauma-informed care, dance therapy, and other holistic methods to encourage survivors of sexual assault and various levels of trauma to reclaim control over their bodies using the healing powers of movement. Ballet After Dark (BAD) helps survivors reprocess, rebuild and reclaim their lives after experiencing trauma. Our vision is to create a community of survivors. We believe that Community is the most impactful asset to healing and the greatest threat to an abuser. Survivors that participate in our cohorts receive trauma-informed dance classes, mental health therapy, financial literacy workshops, self-defense workshops, and advocacy training. BAD has provided healing resources to more than 700 women and girls since 2014. Currently our operating budget is $250,600.
