Overview

Get excited about STEM! Our eight-week-long programs bring dance and STEM together in electrifying performances. Our programs are available to elementary, middle, and high schools and CBOs that serve a majority underrepresented youth. 

We bring in dance and STEM professionals to inspire and work with you to create tech-infused dance performances presented live in front of friends and family. Get confident, dream big, make it happen, and discover how STEM classes and careers are for you.

Exposure
Simply becoming aware of STEM careers can ignite a girl’s interest to explore more.
Confidence
Girls are encouraged to ask questions, persist through doubt, and dream big.
Innovation
Girls integrate dance and STEM, like LED costumes and animated backdrops.
Creativity
Through hands-on, project-based learning, girls imagine a dance-technology performance and bring it to life.
Connection
Due to the impact of COVID, we have an increased focus on mental wellness, socio-emotional learning, and sisterhood.
Experience
Founded by an MIT alumna and woman of color, SFD has 10 years of experience delivering quality STEAM education.
Inspiration
STEM professionals speak to our students about their journey and careers to further deepen exposure and interest.
Our Impact
Our results are backed by published research from the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
