Sponsorships for Youth Dancers

VMAC Next Gen is proudly a program of Portland Cultural Dance Collective (PCDC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building community through movement. Our mission is to make high-quality dance education accessible and affordable for families in Portland and beyond.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the confidence, creativity, and connection that dance provides — regardless of financial circumstances. Through scholarships, sliding-scale options, and community support, we work to remove barriers so more youth can participate in cultural and contemporary dance programs.

If your family would benefit from tuition support, we encourage you to apply through our Financial Assistance link by clicking here. Our process is simple, confidential, and designed to support families with dignity and care.

If you are in a position to give, your donation directly supports youth scholarships and helps us expand access to dance for underserved families in our community. You can contribute by clicking here!

Together, we are building a vibrant, inclusive dance community where every child has the chance to move, grow, and thrive.
