About
​Our Mission is to inspire people from all walks of life to participate in their communities, and to equip neighbors with valuable resources and actionable steps for change.
We achieve this by highlighting Central Florida's amazing community builders through interviews, content, and dance film. - thus "Dance the Neighborhood."
​​Meet Dance the Neighborhood's creator and director, Jacob Smokey Beaver!
Jacob is a professional choreographer and dancer who has worked with renowned artists and companies such as Twenty One Pilots, Finneas, Ashe, LA Opera, Walt Disney World, and more. Originally from Orange County, California, he moved to Central Florida in December of 2025 and brought his passions with him. Jacob created Dance the Neighborhood as a crossroad of the two things he loves the most: people and dancing. His goal as an artist is to tell stories that are honest and empowering. He hopes to shine a light on the beautiful community of Central Florida that has welcomed and inspired him.
