FROM COMMERCIAL DANCE COMPANY
TO PERFORMING ARTS NON-PROFIT

Every job was exciting but our biggest job came AFTER the pandemic with LACOSTE. They called us asking Director and Co-Founder Casimar Valles to Choreograph for their OPENING of the new St. Mary's Tennis Court with Venus Williams.

We hold our first GALA at The TIMES SQUARE HARD ROCK CAFE to raise funds and awareness to bring free and affordable classes to the students of the South Bronx.

HAUS AT THE HARD ROCK
Many parents and supporters have been with us for almost 10 years, since the birth of the dance company, The Haus of Casimar. In this time, the company built a name for themselves performing locally but also landing commericial dance and modeling contracts.

The year 2024, Alexes and Casimar created The Haus of Performing Arts as an expansion to reach more students in The Bronx. The Fashion Week event was the motivator to give more oppurtunities to Bronx Natives and show them that art has the ability to be more than just a hobby.

HAUS Mission
At The Haus of Performing Arts, we empower South Bronx children to find their voices, express their creativity, and build unshakable confidence through the arts. Our afterschool program provides a safe, joyful, and inclusive space where students explore performing, visual, and culinary arts alongside academic support and social-emotional learning.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to be seen, heard, and celebrated. By combining artistic training with mentorship, we help young people grow as creators, thinkers, and leaders who are equipped with the skills, identity, and self-belief to shine in school and in life.
