A non-profit foundation using dance, coffee and shared spaces to build stronger, more connected communities — designed for measurable social impact.
Founded by Riki & Marth
Founded by Riki Almouti and Marth Craandijk, Coffee & Dance Foundation believes change starts when people simply come together. By combining the energy of street dance with the warmth of shared community spaces, we create environments where strangers become neighbors and young people find their voice.
Too many young people grow up feeling isolated or unseen. We use dance and warm, shared spaces — including coffee and community environments — to reduce loneliness, spark creativity, and give people a place to belong. Every program is designed for measurable social impact.
