There exists an urgent need for relevant dance and cultural arts programming for our LA youth.
The challenges in Los Angeles’s underserved, low-income communities, particularly among historically marginalized African American, Latinx, and LGBTQI+ populations, include the persistent impacts of institutional racism, lack of job opportunities, poverty, crime, gang violence, drugs/alcohol, food deserts, teen pregnancy, obesity, and generational trauma.
In neighborhoods such as South Central, Compton, Watts, communities have historically lacked outside investment, artists and dancers created their own arts infrastructure, cultural norms, sounds, movement, and safe spaces. An alternative to harmful activities, youth have joined crews that provide a healthy mentorship and intergenerational dynamic, building synergy through performance, battle opportunities.
After-school hours are a peak time for juvenile crime, and after-school programs are critical to youth and their families. Boomer the Clown will provide consistent and accessible spaces that get youth “hype” to learn dance while building community values.
BOOMSQUAD was founded in 2014 by Boomer the Clown with a mission to inspire, mentor, and empower youth through dance, performance, creativity, and community engagement. More than just a dance team, BOOMSQUAD is a movement dedicated to building confidence, leadership, discipline, and teamwork among young people.

BOOMSQUAD performers are known for their colorful clown attire, face paint, high-energy performances, and ability to engage audiences of all ages.
BOOMSQUAD performs at community events, schools, churches, festivals, parties, fundraisers, and special events throughout Southern California. The organization uses dance, entertainment, and mentorship to create opportunities for youth while promoting positivity, education, family involvement, and community pride.
Beyond dance, BOOMSQUAD encourages young people to pursue careers in the arts, entertainment, entrepreneurship, media production, and community leadership. Through mentorship and hands-on experience, participants gain valuable life skills that help prepare them for success both on and off the stage.
Today, BOOMSQUAD continues to impact lives by providing youth with a creative outlet that promotes self-expression, personal growth, and community connection.
