Let me guess...
You’ve been longing to dust off your dance shoes (or bare feet) and feel the rhythm of the music moving through you.
Without a doubt, dancing is the one activity that rejuvenates you. No matter what life throws at you, that energy and excitement captivates you every time.
Dance feeds your soul and nourishes your body – it makes your life better.
It’s the place where you feel home and where you’ve had some of the best moments of your life. You always feel alive, powerful, and free – on the dance floor!
From one dance lover to another, I get it.
Dance fills your cup. It gives you purpose. And we both know it feels even better when you get to dance with an amazing crew of friends.
Dance for Humanity was created for people just like you (and me).
To build a community of dance lovers so we can unite and:
- Unleash our creativity and authentic expression.
- Keep our passion alive.
- Feed our souls.
- And better the world.
Come be part of our crew and dance with people who cherish dance as much as you do.

Jen Earls
Your Community Dance Leader, Choreographer, and Performing Artist.
Founder of Dance for Humanity, I'm passionate about leading dance lovers to dance and connect meaningfully in community settings for our collective well-being, and to support eco-social causes for a regenerative world.
With over 13 years of experience leading various types of community dance classes, workshops, and retreats, I aim to promote healthy embodiment and fulfilling relationship-building through dance and intentional co-creation. I specialize in improvisational, expressive forms such as Contemplative Dance and Authentic Movement, as well as Salsa and Afro-Latin Dance. Influenced by my training in Group Facilitation, Holistic Coaching, Mindfulness Meditation Instruction, and Permaculture Design I use a collaborative, holistic approach to leading dance and intentional community-building.
My Mission
To create a home for dance lovers to feel alive, thrive and build a brighter, more regenerative world together through dance. Every gathering or event is designed to nurture self-awareness, receptivity, personal empowerment, self-care, joy, creative expression, community, and well-being for all.
