A Community Dance School in Newark Ohio

Hello, my name is Angel and I am raising funds for a non-profit community dance school in Licking County. We are seeking funds for our 2023/2024 season in order to help us buy needed equipment, to grow our faculty, and host community events.

Our Mission:

Village Creative Dance Studio is a visionary dance organization with a mission to bring joyful movement to individuals of all ages, sizes, and abilities. We firmly believe that dance is for everybody, and through the

transformative power of movement, we aim to empower, engage, educate, and inspire our diverse community. Our studio is founded on the principles of inclusivity, creating a warm and supportive environment

where all feel welcomed and encouraged to explore the art of dance. We focus on health-full instruction, nurturing each student's journey of self-discovery and expression through caring, positive reinforcement.

At Village Creative Dance Studio we seek to:

1. Foster Joyful Movement: We believe that dance is not only a form of expression but also a source of joy. Our studio encourages students to find delight in movement, celebrating the freedom and creativity it offers.

2. Promote Inclusivity: Regardless of age, size, or ability, our doors are open to all. We strive to create a safe and welcoming space where diversity is celebrated, and each individual feels valued and respected.

3. Empower Self-Discovery: Through dance, we aim to empower our students to discover their strengths, passions, and unique identities. Our instructors encourage self-expression and personal growth, nurturing the

confidence to embrace one's true self.

4. Engage and Educate: We view dance as a form of education that goes beyond physical technique. Our classes incorporate elements of cultural awareness, history, and appreciation for the arts, fostering a deeper

understanding of the world around us.

5. Support Holistic Health: Dance is not only an art form but also a means of improving overall well-being. Our focus on health-full instruction emphasizes physical fitness, emotional balance, and mental clarity.

learning environment. We offer classes in various styles, including contemporary, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, Latin dance, and more. Our curriculum is designed to balance creativity with technical proficiency, ensuring that

students receive comprehensive training while exploring their artistic potential.
