Run, walk and raise funds to support financial aid for 1,700 Hochstein students a year!

At Hochstein, our mission is simple: to provide excellent music and dance instruction to anyone who is interested - regardless of age, level of skill, background, or ability to pay. Every day, our students develop their talents with the assistance of our experienced faculty. Last year, 1,700 children and adults received financial aid totalling over $200,000.
