Our organization is dedicated to a most important aspect of the human journey: discovering our Identity. We approach this goal through an education in the principles inherent within the structure of Vaganova system of classical dance training.

Our organization received 501 c3 status in January 2008 under the name of Dance Into Unity, Inc. The main purpose of the charity was to raise autism awareness through visible dance productions. We were able to reach thousands of people through performing arts venues in the theaters of Los Angeles. In addition, our organization created workshops teaching youths to connect through dance. Our 2012 workshops were featured in the award-winning documentary film “Through the Heart of Tango” which we did in collaboration with Joey Travolta’s Inclusion Films.

We change the name of our organization in 2014 to Autism Unites, Inc. and in 2016, we added d.b.a. The First Guild. Our goal is to work with youth from all walks of life, focusing on healthy identity formation through innovative educational programs.
