A WORD FROM WHITNEY
Whitney McIntosh-Joseph is honored to step into the role of Executive Director at Dancewave, an organization she has long admired for its deep commitment to equity, access, and artistic excellence. A lifelong dancer and arts advocate, Whitney has spent her career working across Downtown Brooklyn, East New York and Brownsville communities, ensuring that young people have access to high-quality arts education. Early in her career, Whitney enrolled 2 of her own students at Dancewave to expand their training and exposure, an experience that deepened her belief that every young person deserves the chance to grow through movement. Whitney is committed to expanding Dancewave’s reach, strengthening community partnerships, and elevating dance as a powerful tool for self-expression, connection and opportunity across New York City.
