Community Support
At Sherwood Dance Academy, giving back is part of who we are. Our mission is to empower not only our dancers, but also the community we’re proud to be part of. Through service and connection, we strive to make a positive impact. Each act of service reflects the heart of our studio: using dance to uplift, inspire, and strengthen the world around us.
“Your greatness is not what you have, but what you give” - Alice Hocker
Annual Winter Showcases
Every December our Winter Showcase performances are in support of our community! Cash donations go to SDA’s Rose Scholarship Fund, helping families afford dance classes when they would otherwise be unable to. Food donations go to Helping Hands of Sherwood, providing food to local families.
Adopt-a-Road
Sherwood Dance Academy is proud to have adopted Borchers Drive — the street we call home! Our staff and dance families roll up their sleeves a few times a year to help keep our street clean and welcoming for everyone who passes by.
Clothing Drive, 2023 & 2025
Our SDA families donate youth clothing for Family Promise of Tualatin Valley (FPTV), a local non-profit with the mission to end homelessness one family at a time. The clothing we gather goes to children who go to FPTV, often with no possession other than the clothes on their back.
“What a generous and impactful way to support our families! We’re so grateful for your enthusiasm and support. The clothes you collect makes such a difference.” -Marisa with FPTV
Dancing for Community
We love showing up for our community to share our love of dance!
“I just wanted to reach out and say a resounding THANK YOU to you and your dancers for coming to perform for us! The residents are still gushing about it and they had a truly wonderful experience. I've honestly never seen them that enamored with a performance, and I just wanted to let you know how deeply you and your group brought joy to them. We will be talking about it for months I'm sure!” - Arianna, Activity Director; Fircrest Senior Living
