Our Mission
Imani Dance Academy is built on FAITH, the Swahili translation of Imani, that any child can achieve their dreams if they just TRY. We help them grow and learn mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We focus on developing the artistic abilities of every child and understand that they are all unique and special in their own way.
Imani Dance Academy provides mentoring and motion therapy programs for elementary, middle and high school students in the Greater New Orleans area. The program fosters a commitment to young ladies that promotes pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, body and mind awareness and reasserts a sense of hope in the future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that gives youth the commitment to follow through on a path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Imani provides New Orleans Youth a structured yet fun and exciting place to learn the fundamentals of dance. From ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, acrobats, cheerleading and majorette, we provide something special for each child. Focusing on small dance groups allows the business to foster a one on one environment which also allows Imani to concentrate on the unique needs of every dancer.
