Danzante's Mission

Our mission is to serve as a multicultural community resource to provide artistic education for Latinos, Hispanics and others as a means of developing career opportunities, healthy minds and bodies, and respect for self and the environment.

History of Danzante

The Danzante program began in 1978 with the presentation of Spanish flamenco dance and culture to residents of Central Pennsylvania. In 1992, Danzante received 501(c)3 status and began after-school programming in collaboration with the Church of the Brethren in South Allison Hill, Harrisburg, serving primarily a Latino population. In 1999, Danzante initiated a capital campaign totaling $333,000 and developed its state-of-the-art community arts center in the McFarland Building on Crescent Street in South Allison Hill. In 2004 Danzante received funding through the National Endowment on the Arts to create and install the Mulberry Street murals. We are now in our thirty-third year of existence and serve a multi-cultural group of youth and adults.
