The Haus of Dynamite (formerly The South End Dynamite) was founded in 2009 by Natasha Rivera
and Paul Rinkulis as a safe haven for Boston youth to explore the performing arts. Over the years, the
program has grown into a cultural cornerstone, empowering hundreds of young people to develop
confidence, resilience, and leadership through cheer, dance, and baton performance.
After a brief pause for recovery, restructuring, and healing, we are proud to announce our return from
late 2025 through October 2026.
Our team has been deeply missed, and thanks to community support, we are committed to bringing this beloved program back stronger than ever.
Why Your Sponsorship Matters
The Haus of Dynamite operates without government funding. Our success relies on sponsors, alumni donors, and community partners. Sponsorship ensures that our youth can access:
• Practice Facilities – Safe, consistent rehearsal space.
• Costumes & Equipment – Our vibrant attire and performance sets.
• Travel & Competitions – Registration fees, transportation, and housing.
• Wellness Support – Covering medical needs, hydration, and nutrition.
• Youth Empowerment – Workshops on self-esteem, teamwork, and leadership.
Your contribution directly impacts the lives of our youth, making it possible for them to represent
Boston and the LGBTQ+ community on local, national, and international stages.
