Representation matters. It’s a wonderful feeling when you discover something that shows you the world’s possibilities.
— Nicole Clarke-Springer, Artistic Director, Deeply Rooted Dance Theater

With the great support of the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois, foundations and corporations, and the generosity of many individual donors, we have already raised more than $13 million to open the Deeply Rooted Dance Center.

Your donation to the Deeply Rooted Dance Center Capital Campaign supports our artistic vision and culture, which continue to grow with this premier training and presenting space. The DRDC will serve as an international home for Black dance and a thriving network of dance partners. Your support allows Deeply Rooted to strengthen its leadership role in preserving the legacy of Black dance in Chicago.
