DancEast Collective is committed to making dance accessible to students, artists, and audiences. The Dance for Every Body project was centered around the portion of our mission that seeks to offer highly-accessible, community-based dance programs. While a project focused on offering free dance instruction to pretty much anyone interested in moving their body may on the surface appear to be about dance education (and it is for sure), this project was just as much about exposure to the art of dance and building an appreciation for that art. The impact of the project is in the cultivation of love for the art of dance and the fact that we were able to offer the experience of dancing together as a community to many individuals - ranging from those with a fairly significant amount of dance education/experience to those who had never even stepped foot into a dance class before. DancEast has been offering and promoting dance education, artistry, and outreach throughout the Nashville community for more than a decade. Funding from the TN Arts Commission - via an Arts Access grant for $15,300 - allowed us to expand our reach in very exciting ways in FY24. DancEast was founded with the intention of creating a space where anyone could dance in a positive and non-competitive environment, regardless of their background, body type, or socioeconomic level. This project moved us forward in pursuit of that goal. 20000 15491 DancEast Company. Being able to pay competitive wages to dancers is an incredibly important part of our mission. The fact that 3 of the 6 dancers in the company are Latine (1 born in Cuba and another in Mexico) is something of which we are quite proud. We hear from audiences that they are moved by the diversity of the company and the ingenuity of the movement they represent. A member of the audience at the free performance in the gallery at the downtown Nashville Public Library on April 11, 2024 stated "I see collaboration. I see reaction. I see consciousness." He just happened into the performance but was moved to sit down and stay for the entirety of it. That single interaction was so perfectly representative of what we are trying to do by offering dance in unexpected places for anyone and everyone to experience and enjoy. This project was made possible in part by an Arts Project grant in the amount of $10,000 from the TN Arts Commission. Revenue is from ticket sales and payment for adults to take dance lessons. 138695 269434 DancEast Collective Youth. We were highly successful in achieving the goals for our youth programming in FY24. DancEast Collective served 63 youth between the ages of 8 and 18 in the DancEast Studio. We served an additional 28 youth in that age range in Metro Nashville Public Schools. The DancEast Collective Youth program was offered to 22 youth between the ages of 8 and 18 at no cost. An additional 12 students in that age range received dance instruction at a significantly reduced cost, and one 7-year-old did, as well. 20 youth in Metro Nashville Public Schools received dance instruction at no cost to them, and an additional 8 students in MNPS received instruction at a significantly reduced cost. 29.6% of the total 91 students served are BIPoC. While we contracted with 8, rather than the projected 14, teaching artists, we did surpass the goal of half of them identifying as BIPoC or LGBTQIA+ (75%). We paid them on average $60/hour, surpassing the goal of $50/hour. We met our goal of offering 2 youth dance performances for the community, surpassing our goal of 20 youth and 40 adults for the free show in December and also surpassing our goal of 20 free tickets given out for the April show. We received a grant from the TN Arts Commission for $3,000 to help supplement this work. Revenue is from payments for youth dance lessons, ticket sales, and contracts with Metro Nashville Public Schools to provide after school dance programs. 189295 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19901 0 true 16 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 true false false false false false false true false false true false false false true false false TN X Emily Masters 6156011897 805 Woodland St Unit 314 Nashville TN 37206 Chelsea Norman Board Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tracee Perrin Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Sara Pruneski Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Diego Eguiarte Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Tony Perrin Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Lindsay Smith Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Emily Masters Founder and Executive Director 5.00 0 0 0 Amia Butler Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Lauren Melancon Education Director 30.00 0 0 0 Elizabeth Wilkinson Artistic Director 20.00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 6231 64385 1117 71733 payments for dance lessons 611610 278694 278694 278694 15416 15416 15416 0 0 365843 278694 0 0 X 63450 63450 121477 114227 7250 25068 25068 2560 2560 4443 4443 7590 7590 85882 64411 21471 588 588 311058 269716 41342 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 54785 X false false X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2700 65502 68202 0 0 192455 195566 284925 672946 0 0 0 0 15416 15416 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 192455 198266 365843 756564 0 0 0 756564 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 192455 198266 365843 756564 X 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part IX, Line 11g Fees for services to non-employees for dance instruction.

In the latter part of FY24 DancEast Collective experienced staffing changes that affected my availability of time to perform my usual tasks, and then I also experienced a personal setback when Hurricane Helene affected members of my family. It has been a difficult couple of months in many ways, and since our staff is so small and the areas of expertise are so concentrated in dance instruction, I am the only person in charge of filing our tax return at the end of the year. On top of everything else, I recently was in a car accident, and although I am OK, I may be without transportation for a while.
