Buck Out Cleveland is a dance organization and studio dedicated to offering technical dance training, performance opportunities, character development, audition preparation, and educational assistance to aspiring marching band auxiliary members at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) and dancers curious about pursuing dance as a career. Our goal is to ensure that youth who aspire to become professional and college-level dancers are not inhibited by the lack of access to the tools and resources necessary to thrive in the field.
Our mission is to utilize dance to successfully bridge the gap between Northeast Ohio (NEO) youth and higher education at Historically Black Colleges & Universities while increasing the awareness of obtainable dance careers.
Our vision is to see dancers from NEO obtain fruitful careers in dance, creating a cyclical trend of empowerment and success in the community.
