Support Ignite!

Ignite Dance Company is DePaul University's first and only competitive intramural dance group. Founded in 2014, Ignite is comprised of 20 members that make up our four teams: Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, and Contemporary. We attend competitions and performances throughout the Chicagoland area and Midwest region. 

Ignite Dance Company envisions a space in which college students use dance as a medium to connect with one another, push themselves as artists, and grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Ultimately, Ignite strives to empower each of its dancers to embody confidence inside and out. One of our values is financial accessibility. Your donations ensure that income status does not prevent any members from dancing.

Besides our competitions, we perform at DePaul events throughout the year, such as basketball games, DIBS's birthday, DemonTHON, and more. Each Spring, we hold our end-of-the-year recital to showcase all our dances to our friends and family. 

In the Fall, Ignite made the goal to raise $5,000 through Inspire. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to raise over half our goal and make $2,545. Our goal for April is to raise the remaining $2,455. Your donations help cover the following:

  • Costumes and team merchandise
  • Competition fees
  • Rental cars, hotels, and meals for out-of-town competitions
  • Membership dues
  • Renting our recital venue
  • Hiring photographers, videographers, and lighting & sound technicians for recital
  • Attending specialty dance classes throughout Chicago
  • And more!

You can find us on Instagram @ignitedancecompanydepaul to keep up with our events and choreography highlights! We appreciate all your support.
