How to Join BIDC

The Big Island Dance Council is a non-profit organization established in 1975. A volunteer Board of Directors, comprised of Big Island dancers, educators, and community leaders runs it. Each year the BIDC touches the lives of thousands of Island residents through dance education programs in schools, guest artist workshops, professional and student performances, apprenticeships, scholarships and community service projects.

MISSION The Big Island Dance Council supports, promotes, and encourages the art of dance on the Island of Hawaii through education, classes, performances, and networking.

The BIDC sponsors dance education through our Creative Movement Program (for preschool and elementary school students) and Youth Outreach (YO) Program (for upper elementary, middle, and high school students). We also bring Master Class workshops to the Big Island, promote and support dance performances, local dance companies and teachers.

The BIDC receives partial funding from the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. The balance of our budget is raised through membership dues, ticket sales, private and corporate donations, grants and fundraisers.
