声 — Hundreds of Stories

For a lot of kids here, fandom is where belonging starts.

Loving K-Pop or anime in East Tennessee can be a lonely thing — plenty of kids show up to our events never having met anyone else who shares what they love.

That's what we build for. What started as the Knox K Pop dance classes in 2024 has grown into free workshops, youth programs, and a festival that drew 750+ fans — places where kids find each other.

More than 500 young people have come through our programs — learning choreography, taking the stage for the first time, and turning around to teach the next kid.

Your donation creates more stories like these.
