The company is born out of 10 years of research as Toscana Dance HUB International and is dedicated to upholding and fighting for the inalienable human rights of all women.
Exciting news: we’re honored to announce that we’ve received a grant from FY2026 Cultural Development Fund (CDF)!! Art and culture are the heart and soul of New York, and we’re proud to be among the nearly 1,200 groups receiving city support this year thanks to the partnership between the NYC Mayor’s Office and the City Council.
This investment in our work will help us bring accessible, affordable cultural programs to our community. Our CDF grant will support our public program that is building on work initiated during Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, this March presentation expands the project’s reach through immersive installation, live music, somatic practice, and dialogue.

UNSPOKEN//UNBROKEN 🌸
As part of unspoken//unbroken, WADE Dance invites you to Making Flowers, Holding Stories — a reflective paper flower workshop led by Giada Matteini.
Through the slow process of folding, cutting, and shaping, we gather to honor lives lost to femicide and reflect on the individuals behind the statistics. Each flower becomes a quiet gesture of attention — holding a story with care.
The flowers made in these workshops will become part of the unspoken//unbroken gallery installation, appearing throughout the space as a collective expression of remembrance and visibility.
This work grows through community. We will continue hosting flower-making gatherings leading up to the gallery, and throughout the exhibition visitors will also be invited to make flowers in the space.
