Donations
Whether you give a little or a lot, your contribution helps create more opportunities for families to dance together, celebrate together, and keep our culture alive together.
Donations give KSO the ability to plan events further in advance, welcome more participants, and reserve larger spaces so more families can take part.

WHAT WE’VE DONE
KSO is creating opportunities for dancers and families to connect, learn, and represent our culture.
CONNECTING COMMUNITIES
KSO families traveled from NYC to Utica to visit the Sebilj and celebrate our shared culture.
LEARNING & GROWING
Our coaches traveled to Utica for a dance workshop with Bosanski Behar and renowned folklorist Vehid “Vedo” Polovina, bringing new knowledge back to our dancers.
TAKING THE STAGE
KSO made its first performance at the Multicultural Fair in Astoria—just the beginning of our dancers’ journey.
These are the opportunities your support helps make possible.
WHAT WE’RE BUILDING
Every year, KSO creates new traditions that give families more ways to celebrate their culture and make memories together.
Examples:
-
Annual Godisnjica Dinner
-
End of Year Outdoor Picnic
-
New international performances and community gatherings
-
Events that bring dancers, parents, grandparents, and the broader community together
