Education, Artist Development, and Outreach

Irise Dance Project believes everyone can benefit from the healing power of dance. Our various partnerships have provided us with the opportunity to educate and uplift people of all ages and backgrounds, furthering our mission to build empowered and caring communities through dance. Izizwe is particularly interested in providing African dance, drumming, and performance workshops to schools and community organizations.

Additionally, Irise is committed to developing and maintaining a strong and sustainable dance community in Lawrence. We achieve this by offering low-cost studio rental and providing a platform for local dance artists to share their work.

If you are interested in renting the studio or having us host a performance, workshop, or class at your community organization or classroom, please contact us today!
