About This Cause
Palo Alto Dance Connection Youth Ensemble is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to foster the love of dance in the youth of our community. This is accomplished with enrichment, community outreach, scholarship assistance, and ensemble development. We further our purposes under this program by conducting the following activities: a. Enrichment activities include dance education, performance opportunities, mentoring, and choreography training. Education consists of masterclasses, training with guest artists, professional dance choreography and coaching, and attending professional performances. Performance opportunities for the dancers include a minimum of three performances each year: Nutcracker Ballet, a Benefit Concert for PADCYE, and a Spring Ballet Concert. Mentoring involves bringing young teens into leadership roles with the training and guidance of dance professionals. Emerging choreographer training shall encourage young dancers to develop their own creative choreography with an understanding of space, time, emotion, motion, and communication through dance with the assistance of dance professionals and collaboration with their peers. b. Community Outreach provides for community performances, public and private school outreach, and involvement in community events such as parades, festivals, and benefit events. c. Scholarship Assistance will be available to deserving students to further the advancement of their dance training. Scholarship awards will be based on merit or financial need, to be distributed equally between both parts. d. Ensemble Development supports the artistic direction for youth companies and teams, costuming needs for the dancers, and scenic and props design and construction for productions.
