Destiny Arts Center seeks to inspire and ignite social change through movement arts by providing free and low-cost dance, theater, martial arts, violence prevention, and leadership classes to youth aged three to 18 in Oakland. Destiny Art Center’s professional teaching artists work with more than 3,000 primarily low-income youth and youth of color, both at the organization’s home campus, and at 24 schools and community centers throughout the East Bay. Destiny Arts Center’s two youth performing companies collaborate to produce one original piece of musical theater per year, and perform for more than 20,000 audience members annually.
