DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In fiscal year 2024, The Dance Thing (TDT) continued its mission of enriching the fusion dance community through two major programs: 1) Annual Weekend Event: The Dance Thing's annual camping-based weekend event served 150+ dancers at The Lodge at Cedar Springs. The event featured: -Two dance spaces, -a main hall and smaller side room for different music styles, -A community-driven volunteer program with over 40% of the weekend's attendees working in various capacities over the weekend to keep the event running smoothly, -Paid staff including DJs, photographers, and kitchen leads, -5 communal meals provided throughout the weekend. 2) Weekly Thursday Fusion (WTF): Our ongoing weekly dance program focused on: -Regular social dances serving dancers of all skill levels, -Artistic development for DJs through mentorship and performance opportunities, -Community building through consistent gathering space, -A membership program that we launched in 2024 to provide sustainable funding... Both programs demonstrate our commitment to creating sustainable, inclusive spaces for fusion dance while fairly compensating artists and staff. Our organization is actively working to grow the fusion dance community through both intensive weekend experiences and regular social dancing opportunities.$0$59,304
