My Project

Our competitive dance team trains intensely throughout the week, balancing school and long hours of physical movement. To keep our dancers healthy, organized, and focused, we’re seeking a few essential studio items: a mini freezer for storing reusable ice packs to treat sore muscles; a multi-tiered shoe rack to keep shoes sorted and off the floor; and durable storage bins or racks for resistance bands, foam rollers, and other fitness tools we use daily.

Having access to cold therapy helps prevent injuries and speeds up recovery after intense rehearsals.

A shoe rack will reduce clutter, prevent tripping hazards, and keep performance shoes in good condition. And dedicated gym storage will help us keep our equipment clean, organized, and easy to access—saving us time and creating a more professional, functional space.

These items may seem small, but they will make a huge difference in our daily operations and help us care for our dancers' bodies and minds.
