Youth Protection Advocates in Dance

LONGMONT, CO

    • Mission

    Youth Protection Advocates in Dance (YPAD) was born as a response and solution to various negative trends that commodify and exploit youth and adults in performing arts. We believe the resources and training that YPAD has developed to educate on emotional physical and sexual health can be adapted for the gymnastics community and be a positive resource to those in need. Dance and gymnastics are a powerful source of self-expression, community building and Holistic wellness. YPAD unites communities to nurture that belief though education and advocacy. YPAD’s focus is on providing dance studios, conventions, competitions, instructors, dance professionals, parents, community members and dancers with the support, education, tools and resources they need to make healthy choices in the dance environment and the world. We are committed to pursuing our mission without shame or judgment. This is a journey and we are all in this together!

    About Us

    YPAD Creed

    We believe education leads to self-regulation.

    We stand united in the position that no trophy, accolade, fame, viral social media status, or financial gain will take precedence over the protection and well-being of our youth.

    Our top priority is the emotional, physical and sexual safety of each dancer.

    The goal is not perfection. It is improvement and empowerment through education and advocacy.

    We stand united to stop all exploitation and commodification of youth in performing arts.

    We honor purpose over personality.

    We strive to be "learn-it-alls" not "know-it-alls" as the benefactors of our continual learning are the children we have dedicated our lives to serve.

    We stand for inclusion and kindness and celebrate the unique differences of our students and dance families.

    YPAD (Youth Protection Advocates in Dance) is a non-profit organization dedicated to building empowered dance communities and keeping kids healthy and safe in all dance environments.

    We are a division of EDIFY Movement
