Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In 2024 the Traverse City Dance Project continued its Community Tours which are a series of free outdoor performances in locations that do not have access to professional theatre or where access is limited. This year?s achievements included the following events and performances: Summer Tour: We brought live dance performances to five Northern Michigan communities?Kalkaska, Glen Arbor (the only paid performance), Charlevoix, Frankfort, and Traverse City. The tour included five different communities, one that is underserved and three that do not have easy geographic access to a professional theater. For many attendee groups, this was their first exposure to live dance. Artistic Collaborations: We employed seven professional dancers, three musicians, four choreographers, and a dedicated technical team, creating more opportunities for artists and expanding our reach in the community. Guest Artists: We had the incredible honor of hosting principal dancers from New York City Ballet and Pacific Northwest Ballet, who brought the breathtaking Black Swan pas to our stage. Dance Festival Pilot: Our collaboration with Grand Rapids Ballet was an exciting first step in expanding our programming for a future dance festival. Internships: We launched our first-ever intern program, providing invaluable hands-on experience to two college students in arts administration and production. It is this kind of mentorship that helps nurture the next generation of leaders in the arts. New Dance Works: This year, we premiered four new pieces, each one a reflection of our commitment to dance makers and artists. They included, Matthew Neenan?s The Foxes, Rachel Harris?s In Due Time, Jennifer Lott?s Sundown, and Brent Whitney?s Lilies. Youth and audience education opportunities: We provided a free pre-show dance class for youths at one location as well as a post-show Q&A after all shows to provide audience members an opportunity to interact and ask questions to performers.-$118,625
