Dancewave is a Brooklyn based non-profit dance organization. Their humble beginnings commenced with the first Kids Cafe Festival produced by Diane Jacobowitz in 1995. The idea was simple: treat young dancers as professionals in the making and they will rise to the occasion. As interest grew in this festival the Kids Company was formed. This ensemble combined aspiring young dancers from across New York with some of the city's top choreographers.

This special mixture of artistry and youth continued to captivate minds until, in 2009, Dancewave Center was opened in Brooklyn and the Kids Company was renamed to Dancewave Company I. Since then, the company has continued to grow. Dancewave now serves over 5000 young people per year through their school, pre-professional dance companies, arts in education outreach programs, and special produced events.

Dancewave is constantly developing new programs and strategies for learning, performing, and connecting the exciting elements of dance in our community.
