Danceworks is a wonderful non-profit dance organization that does some pretty cool stuff for the…read morecommunity like their Mad Hot Ballroom (kids ballroom) and Mad Hot Tap programs. They are also a dance company and offers performances, as well as a school that offers a pretty fantastic range of classes for both kids and adults. I've taken adult ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, tap, African and ballroom dance classes at Danceworks. They also offer some fitness based classes like Zumba and Barre Workout classes as well. This org hosts a great variety of classes and has so many performance opportunities for both professional and developing dancers. I would recommend a regular end of session survey for regular attendees to be able to review the class and instructor in order to help develop newer teachers and to understand what clients are expecting or looking for from the class. One area of improvement would be better follow up from staff. Sometimes it takes more than one or two attempts to hear back regarding an inquiry. Overall I am very happy with Danceworks, an important local institution here in Milwaukee for the arts, education, culture, youth development and adult enrichment. Get out and see a performance or take a class, you will not regret it!

I am seriously so grateful to have this studio in the city. It's affordable, it has a sweet sense of community, and it's so much fun. There is a parking lot which is major and it's kind of confusing because some of the parking is for the apartments connected but I've parked closest to the entrance of the studio and never had an issue. Definitely recommend.

I haven't been here in quite a while, but I wanted to give them a shout out and say what I know…read moreabout them. I cannot do them justice since they have many programs here to help members of our community that I haven't worked with. I have volunteered here a few times when I was a student through UW-Milwaukee. I helped bag groceries to be handed out to members of the community who needed help. They work very hard to create a balanced bag nutritionally each time such as protein, breakfast items, meat/ eggs, fruits/ veg, dessert (if they have any), soup, pasta/ rice, and a few other types of items I'm forgetting. When they have fresh fruits and vegetables they place them out for people to pick from. They also let people pick out bread items. The number of bags people receive depends on family size. They also have baby food items for those who need them. I also organized personal cleaning supplies (keep the good stuff, throw out the bad/ expired, put out the smaller stuff for people to pick out for free when they came to pick up food, etc). I thought this was really nice of them to have available, many people looked through the baskets once I started filling them. The staff is very kind to those who come in needing assistance and try to help. The area I worked in was basic but clean. They treat the community members that need help with respect (I've seen orgs where they don't treat people very well, this is not one of those orgs!). Great place to help the local community and for people to receive assistance. I've only scratched the surface as to what this nonprofit does for the community, check out their website. Time/ money/ personal donations brought here are not wasted!

She has an innate talent for finding creative solutions to challenges, and that talent is driven by genuine and unstoppable optimism, such a rare gift. She is also realistic about risks that are involved and how to mitigate those risks to achieve the bigger goal. Her talent is so strong, I asked her to serve as president of our organization's Advisory Board. In that role, Ashley was able to see solutions that I simply could not. And her solutions worked! I trust her implicitly and won't hesitate for a chance to work with her in the future. Bonnie Halvorsen, MA Nonprofit & Local Food Systems Consulting
