dancePARTNER program
(annual giving)

EDLA! is unique in that its After-School Dance Program is not tuition-based. Enrolled families contribute a “fair share” of $15/month per dance style, with discounts for multiple classes and siblings.

At no additional cost, enrollment includes participation in EDLA’s Enrichment Programs, including Mentor Match and Student Leadership Team, Conservatory 1,2 and 3 and Company 1 and 2, performance groups, as well as several opportunities to participate in Master Classes and Field Trips to attend professional dance performances each year.

The actual cost to EDLA! for the After-School Program is $1,500 per child. Your donation to EDLA!’s dancePARTER Program enables us to provide valuable and accessible dance and enrichment programming to the youth we serve.

dance routine program
(monthly giving)

EDLA!’s Monthly Giving Program is an opportunity for supporters to provide memories of a lifetime to our students throughout the year. Your monthly donation supports the purchase of a dancer’s first pair of pointe shoes, provides bus transportation for students to attend professional dance performances, and creates custom costumes for the annual Spring Recital.

the gabriella legacy society
(planned giving)

In 1999, our founder, Liza Bercovici, created Everybody Dance LA! in memory of her daughter, Gabriella, who loved to dance. Through a non-cash gift to EDLA! you can ensure we can provide equitable dance education to youth for generations to come. Bequests, deferred gifts, and other estate planning, or planned gifts, represent a unique and mutually beneficial way of giving.

As a member of The Gabriella Legacy Society, you will be invited to special performances, studio tours, and events throughout the year.

For more information about The Gabriella Legacy Society please contact Pamela Bash at email hidden; JavaScript is required. If you have already made a provision for EDLA!, we encourage you to please let us know.

gifts of stock

Gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds held for more than one year) are excellent ways to support EDLA!. Such gifts are easy to make and may provide a greater tax benefit than an equivalent gift in cash.
