Jay Tan
Legacy Fund
Established in memory of Jay Tan, beloved Creative Dance Center teacher and Kaleidoscope choreographer, this fund honors his deep commitment to dance education, storytelling, and community connection. Through his teaching and mentorship, Jay inspired people of all ages to use dance as a form of self-expression and a catalyst for positive change in their lives and the world around them. The fund supports youth scholarships, guest choreographers, and other opportunities that foster creativity, belonging, and growth, carrying forward Jay’s generous and visionary spirit at Creative Dance Center and beyond.
Anne Green Gilbert (AGG) Endowment Fund
Created in celebration of our founder, contributions to this fund are awarded to individuals or projects that “benefit children and adults in their pursuit of physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth through dance.” Such projects have included grants for community engagement with at-risk youth, travel and teaching opportunities for dance educators, funding to bring Kaleidoscope into schools, and college scholarships for graduates of CDC.
Jesse Jaramillo Scholarship Fund
Honoring Seattle dancer, choreographer, and movement educator Jesse Jaramillo, this fund supports our mission to make creative dance accessible to people of all genders, including support for the unique viewpoint and contributions male-identified dancers have made to this art.
