Hi everyone,

This is Mychal and Justin, the directors of Opus Dance Movement.

Today, we’re stepping outside of our comfort zone and asking for your support.

When we started Opus, we didn’t have a studio, a large budget, a staff, or a long list of resources behind us. What we did have was a vision: to create a place where young dancers could be challenged, encouraged, and genuinely cared for.

Over the last two years, we’ve poured everything we have into making that vision a reality.

We wear a lot of hats. Between the two of us, we handle the choreography, rehearsals, competition preparation, marketing, scheduling, fundraising, parent communication, and all of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps this program moving forward.

But our role goes far beyond dance.

We check in on our dancers when they’re struggling. We celebrate their successes in and out of the studio. We show up to support them at important moments in their lives. We make sure they know they have people in their corner who believe in them.

And somehow, with limited resources, no permanent studio space, and a fraction of the support that many established programs begin with, our dancers have accomplished things that many thought would take years to achieve. They’ve earned placements, gained confidence, built friendships, and become part of something bigger than themselves.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, but continuing to grow requires support.

Every donation—whether it’s $5, $25, $100, or more—helps provide opportunities for our dancers and helps us continue building a program that puts them first.

If Opus has touched your life, impacted your family, or if you simply believe in what we’re trying to build, we would be grateful for your support.

Thank you for believing in our dancers, our vision, and our mission.

With gratitude,

Mychal & Justin

From two reckless teenagers doing 80mph down Fayetteville St with Clarity blaring out the speakers of a white Denali to two very grown men outside in a town center after leaving business #1 to go do things for business #2. Our relationship is officially a teenager. It can act like one too 🥴. It can be moody, dramatic, sometimes down right frustrating. But it’s also so full of hope, standing in the principles and feelings that they know make a better world. It’s capable of creating change, inspiring others, and being a goofy, silly, fun time. 13 is ALSO your lucky number, so I know we’ve got a year for the books. @mychal_keels I love you to the moon and back, forever and always. Thank you for loving me, choosing me, and being right here wit me. You’re supposed to get fur this year, but we don’t have time for a dog 😂.
