Our Mission
The mission of Eklipse Youth Organization is to empower young people through transformative arts education, with a focus on dance and creative expression. We are dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible arts programs that bridge the gap for underserved and marginalized populations, ensuring that every child, regardless of background or ability, has the opportunity to thrive. Through inclusive instruction, social-emotional learning, and community engagement, we aim to inspire confidence, creativity, and personal growth in all participants.
Who is Eklipse?
Eklipse Youth Organization has been a leader in performance-based arts programs for 25 years, with programs including indoor drumlines, winter guards, and drum corps. These programs have allowed young performers to grow artistically and personally, achieving excellence in national competitions and providing a creative outlet for discipline, teamwork, and self-expression through the performing arts.
The color guard, specifically, has been the longest-running part of the organization, providing dance and performance training for at least 500 of performers across the 25 years of existence. Starting at the entry level of its competitive class, Eklipse’s winter guard team has steadily grown to the highest levels of competition, participating in top-tier events within the Winter Guard International (WGI) framework.
