What is The Young Dancer Foundation of South Florida, Inc.?
The Young Dancer Foundation of South Florida, Inc. is a non-profit organization that is designed to accept charitable, tax deductible donations to benefit talented young dancers and aspiring dancers. Donations are accepted in monetary form as well as tangible items such as dance costumes and other performance needs such as shoes, dancewear, etc.
The Foundation raises funds with the goal of benefiting dancers of any age, race or religion, provided they have displayed dance talent and / or the desire to pursue dance education. The Young Dancer Foundation of South Florida, Inc. aims to give young dance talent the opportunity to experience all that the performing art has to offer and reaches out to parts of the community that lack the means to educate in the dance arts. Fundraising committees of the foundation strive to find support through community donations and create benefit events to raise funds for the foundation. Donations from individuals and companies ultimately determine the amount of aid that the foundation is able to award to individuals or groups.
How Does The Foundation Aid Talented Young Dancers?
Grants are awarded to individuals and groups that are achieving or express desire to train in the field of dance. The monies raised by The Young Dancer Foundation of South Florida, Inc. will be awarded to young dancers and dance groups through a scholarship system. Scholarships are awarded through a formal application process. Foundation Committees determine how the awards will be distributed based upon applications and the financial capabilities of the foundation at that given time.
Why Should I Help?
When access, opportunity and education to dance arts is limited or halted, the effects ripple in a downward spiral for aspiring young artists. As a creative outlet and source of exercise for the body and the mind, dance is a necessity in many young people’s lives. Being exposed to dance as a young person provides benefits that range from creating focus, creativity, and discipline to the social benefits of improving sensitivity, understanding, appreciation, and consideration for others. The impact of creative learning and dance movement with children is enormous. It promotes the importance of teamwork and social inclusion in a subtle but direct manner. A child who has the opportunity to study dance and the performing arts becomes more confident and that is vital to their future happiness and success.
There are countless reasons to support young people that want to pursue dance as a hobby, a creative outlet and a career. During the past year, the arts as we know it in America halted. Artists became un-employed and deemed unnecessary. Young aspiring artists are left wondering if their dreams and aspirations will ever have a place again. The countless hours, months, and years that they have spent honing their craft and dreaming their dreams now become a worrisome burden instead of a joyous release.
How Can I Help?
Please consider making a tax deductible donation to this outstanding foundation.
