“I hope you dance…”


- Stacey Norris Kessler

Why This Foundation Was Created

This Foundation was created based on a vision Jesus gave me about Stacey and her heart for people. She made sure that everyone she encountered felt loved and accepted. Dance was simply the vehicle that Jesus used to allow her to minister to everyone she came in contact with, especially those in need. Our desire is to continue her legacy by following in her footsteps, and making sure that as many children as possible have the opportunity to experience dance and to remember the giving spirit of Stacey Norris Kessler.
