About Ballroom Barks
Ballroom Barks was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that the grace and discipline of ballroom dance could move hearts — and move mountains for animals in need. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit has grown into a vibrant community force rooted in New York, NY.
Through elegant fundraising galas, community outreach events, and dedicated rescue programs, Ballroom Barks provides a second chance to animals while uniting neighbors, families, and dance lovers around a common cause.
