Keeping our keiki active through dance, tumbling, fitness and mentorship programs
ABOUT
Thrive With Movement, INC, operates as a non-profit organization committed to creating a secure, enjoyable, and inclusive learning environment that promotes social development for children and their parents. Through our scholarship program, we extend financial assistance to low-income families and at-risk children.
Thrive with Movement was founded by Tiffany and Seth Dick, owners of Aloha Dance Studio since 2002, the couple has a history of personally supporting students facing financial challenges. Aloha Dance Studio has served as a sanctuary for many students, offering a home away from home for those in need of a safe environment or struggling with mental health issues.
Motivated by the desire to expand their impact, Tiffany and Seth established Thrive With Movement to reach a broader audience of children and youth on the island. We are enthusiastic about offering scholarships to low-income families, at-risk children, and students displaying potential in the performing arts. Recognizing the significant impact of performing arts on academic and life skills development, our organization provides a comprehensive scholarship program comprising financial support, mentorship, and guidance from experienced professionals. A dedicated team of volunteers is ready to assist and support scholarship recipients, aiming to create an avenue for creativity and personal growth. Our objective is to offer assistance to families in need by providing up to 200 scholarships per year, ranging from $75 to $150 per month. This financial support is aimed at enabling these families to afford extracurricular activities such as dance, tumbling, or other performing arts for their children.

EMPOWERING GROWTH
At Thrive With Movement, we believe in empowering our keiki and youth to reach their full potential through the performing arts. We provide a range of classes in many styles, levels and age groups, tailored to the needs of each individual, that allow for creative expression and exploration. We believe that by engaging in the performing arts, people can gain confidence, develop self-awareness, and grow into well rounded human beings. Our programs focus on building these skills and fostering positive change in the lives of those we serve. We are committed to helping our participants discover and nurture their unique talents, and to providing them with the support they need to take their dreams further.

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
Your donations can help make a difference in the lives of children in need here on Kauai. With your support, we can help provide them with the resources they need to develop their talents, pursue their dreams and reach their full potential. Your donations can help sponsor a child in their activities for the semester, covering tuition and costuming for performances. With your generosity, you can help them to learn, grow and reach new heights. Thank you for supporting our cause and for your generosity.
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Thrive With Movement is dedicated to providing realistic, yet creative, career opportunities for our youth. We are committed to developing leadership and interpersonal skills, such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving beyond the dance community. Our assistant programs and student-teacher mentorship programs provide a variety of opportunities to do so; communicating with the Lead teacher on the daily lesson plan, teaching and correcting technique and choreography in the classroom, volunteering at community events, and more so. We also aim to provide students with resources to help them find the best post-secondary education options for their particular interests and goals; even if it may not be dance-related, our goal is for them to become contributing members of society in their own productive way. Additionally, we strive to create a safe and supportive environment where students can hone their professional skills and build a strong sense of belonging and community. By actively engaging in our leadership opportunities, our students can gain the confidence necessary to succeed in their academic and professional pursuits.
Community Sponsors & Donors
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible sponsors and donors. Your generosity and commitment to supporting Thrive With Movement make all the difference, enabling us to provide enriching dance programs to keiki in our community. Without your support, we would not be able to offer these impactful opportunities to so many families. We are grateful for your partnership in keeping our children active, engaged, and inspired through dance.
