From the Margins to the Main Stage

While contributions from cis-women and gender non-conforming folx have often been sidelined by history, at Girls Rock! Des Moines our impact is anything but marginal.

From our innovative summer camps, instrument lessons and performances, to our own recording studio, we support your journey to plug in to the world around you and take center stage.

Girls Rock! Des Moines is where you ROCK, RECORD & RUN THE SHOW!
