Autistic Wings Dance Company

Something new and exciting is coming to the Pikes Peak Area this fall!

It started with a twelve years old child who was tired of being bullied for her autism, her severe dyslexia, and her physical limitations. Tired of being told she needed to change to make the world around her feel comfortable.

In a basement, she decided she was done trying to fit their mold. She would follow her mentors’ paths and blaze a trail for all kids like her. She knew it would be a lot of work, but any journey worth taking is a lot of work.

She had to find a studio space. She had to find an artistic director. She had to find members for her Board of Directors. She had to get her mom’s help filling out all of the government paperwork. She had to get a mailbox and a bank account (once more, with mom’s help.) She had to design a website and come up with a fundraising plan. She had to come up with an ad campaign idea, too.

And, just like that, Autistic Wings Dance Company was born!

Autistic Wings Dance Company will open its doors in September 2024. Auditions for our homeschooled pre-professional program (Ages 9-18) will be held in August 3, 2024 from 11:00-12:30. Doors Open at 10:00AM for dancers to arrive, stretch, and so parents can fill out paperwork. Check out our Dance With Us Page to see the requirements and to fill out an RSVP.

While we are focusing on our daytime homeschool preprofessional program, don’t think that’s where we are stopping!

As we find dancers and have the financial support, Autistic Wings Dance Company will expand. Please see “Our Roadmap” for our current ideas on expansion of the studio.

Autistic Wings Dance Company would like to thank Barbara Ellis Studio of Dance in Colorado Springs for allowing us to use their studio as our home. If you are looking for a traditional competition dance studio, please check out Barbara Ellis Studio of Dance.
