Youth Development: Dancing Grounds has provided high-quality dance classes to over 1,000 youth. We began by partnering with Community Works of Louisiana, Kid smART and the New Orleans Recreation Department Commission (NORDC) to recruit, train and support excellent dance teachers in afterschool and summer programs. In the past year, we have launched a new Dancing Grounds residency program, providing dance instruction during the school day at Arise Academy and Akili Academy to over 350 students. We have also launched summer and Saturday programs at our home studios on St. Claude Avenue, which will grow to serve more than 150 students in 2016.$21,676
Performance: Dancing Grounds has become a driving force for artistic innovation and dance audience development in Orleans Parish. With support from the Arts Council of New Orleans and the Mayors Office, we produced the first Dance for Social Change Festival, a series of site-specific, Contemporary dance performances that inspired dialogue and action about the key issues confronting our city. Dancing Grounds recently launched New Orleans first Artist-in-Residence program dedicated exclusively to support local choreographers. We provide two dance artistsMaritza Mercado-Narcisse and Meryl Murmanwith free rehearsal time and performance space to develop new work.$21,407
