Our story
One shared idea.
Culture Club Education LLC was founded by people who know school programs from every side. We started as teaching artists, each in our own discipline: dance, music, martial arts and sports. But that’s only where we began. Between us, we’ve run program operations, managed school and district partnerships, and built the systems that keep programs running for more than 50 California school districts. We know what it takes to make a program work in practice, on a Tuesday afternoon with twenty kids and one hour. We also know how to solve the bigger problems behind it, in an education landscape that is complex, layered and always changing.
We came together because we believe arts education shouldn’t be cut off from the things that give it meaning: culture, history, and the people who carry these traditions forward. Movement, rhythm and discipline aren’t extras. They’re how communities have always taught, remembered and celebrated.
On our own, each of us held one piece. Together, we’re building something whole: programming where every part gets real attention, from well-researched curriculum to diverse, well-trained teaching artists who show up fully for every class. For us, care is the standard we hold ourselves to at every site and in every hour.
We know this work, and we’re here to raise what schools can expect from it.
