SFD uses dance as a confidence-building and creative approach to attract and prepare girls for a future in STEM. OUR MISSION: Empower. Occupying only 4% of the STEM workforce, Black and Latina women are vastly underrepresented in the field. To change this, we give minority girls the awareness and preparation for a STEM education—through the creative and confidence-building aspects of dance.

The STEM field includes some of the most high-impact jobs in the world and we’re working to show girls of color that STEM is for them. Girls of color rarely see people like them in STEM fields. We are on a mission to end race and gender disparity in STEM. According to the National Science Foundation, 29% of people employed in STEM fields are women, while Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Latina women make up just 4.87%.
