Mission Statement
House of the Roses Volunteer Dance Company, Inc.'s ("HOTR") mission is to use dance and creative movement exploration to help homeless and at-risk children and youth in New York City achieve personal growth, broaden their sense of community and be recognized for their creativity and talent rather than their life circumstances. HOTR's dance and creative movement workshops are designed to foster freedom of expression, healthy role modeling, self-esteem and respect for others. Through these workshops, the children work together to create their very own choreography and prepare for performances at community events, such as Dance Parade, Project Dance in Times Square, and HOTR's annual spring concerts. At such performances, the children not only showcase their hard work and experience the joy of being seen and celebrated, but also partake in the richness and diversity of New York City's cultural and artistic life. HOTR also seeks to unite a community of volunteers around a passion for dance and service, and provide them with personal and professional development opportunities. Our workshops are conducted by volunteer Teaching Artists from a variety of backgrounds who share a common commitment to giving their time and talent to working with children. Our Teaching Artists have the opportunity to choreograph and to perform onstage together with the children and as a separate ensemble, and they receive ongoing training from experts in fields such as dance education, dance therapy, and human development through performance and the arts.
