Why this Campaign Matters
Too many children in Alberta grow up without safe, inspiring spaces to move, create, and belong. In rural areas, the distance is the barrier. In cities, cost, culture, or confidence keep kids from stepping in.
When they miss those opportunities, they lose more than the chance to dance—they lose the chance to build resilience, friendships, and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Growing Up Strong is changing that. We bring world-class performances, free outreach classes, and training programs to communities across the province. By 2030, we’ll double our reach to 50,000 children and youth each year—and your gift will help get us there.
How It Works
A Research-Backed Approach to Helping Kids Thrive
Physical Health & Literacy
Kids need movement to grow strong.
Dance improves strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility while building the confidence and motivation to move for life.
Your gift keeps these healthy habits within every child’s reach.
Mental Health & Well-Being
Movement is medicine for the mind.
Through creativity and expression, dance reduces stress, boosts mood, and builds resilience in children and teens.
Your support makes these safe, healing spaces possible.
Social Belonging & Community
Friendships that last a lifetime.
In every class, youth build trust, form connections, and feel part of something bigger—especially those who feel isolated.
Your generosity helps them find a place where they belong.
Confidence, Identity & Self-Esteem
Discovering who they are & what they can do.
Dance helps young people see themselves as capable, creative, and worthy, shaping lifelong self-belief.
Your donation gives them the chance to realize their potential.
