The Parents Behind Relevé's Competitive Dancers
A volunteer-led, community-funded booster club making competition possible for young dancers in Lockport, IL.
Why We Exist
Families Helping Families
Relevé Dance Company opened in Lockport in 2022 with one idea — RISE: Reach, Inspire, Succeed, Excel. As the studio's competitive teams grew, so did the cost of competing. A group of parents decided no dancer should miss out because of money. That's how this booster club started.
We're a parent-run, community-funded organization. We raise money through fundraisers, local sponsorships, and donations, and we put nearly every dollar straight back into our dancers — covering fees, easing travel costs, and awarding scholarships to families who need a hand.
