Help Us Make the Dream Come True!

Wacheva Cultural Arts (WCA) & Parents Promoting Dance (PPD) have secured a 4,000 sq. ft. location in the Westcott Business District (Syracuse, N.Y.) at 117 Harvard Place, bringing to fruition The Homestead Project. WCA and PPD are not-for-profit organizations with a tax-exempt 501(c)3 status.

The Homestead Project is a collaboration of Wacheva Cultural Arts and Parents Promoting Dance to create a conservatory that unites different cultures of dance and movement arts from around the world in Central New York.

African Dance & Drum, Salsa, Capoeira, Belly Dance, Flamenco, Samba, Ballroom, Dunham, Ballet, Modern, Jazz , Tap, NIA, Yoga, Pilates, and more.

In April, we will begin the rennovation phase of the center and are looking for your help. Please give us a call or email if you're interested in volunteering or know of tradesmen who would be willing to donate their time and skills in tiling, painting, electricity, plumbing, drywalling, etc. Many hands make light work :)

Our dream is for YOU to be part of this project by purchasing one square foot or more of the center's floor at $25. With this tax-deductible donation, your square foot or feet will be recognized in the center. Please, we need your support in the realization of this center! Every little bit counts.
