Program accomplishments

• SAN JOSE DANCE THEATRE CONTINUED TO ADVANCE ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING HIGH- QUALITY BALLET TRAINING, MEANINGFUL PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES, AND GREATER ACCESS TO THE ARTS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN SILICON VALLEY DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025. IN ADDITION TO PRESENTING MAJOR PRODUCTIONS AND SERVING STUDENTS THROUGH ITS ACADEMY, SJDT MADE AN IMPORTANT INVESTMENT IN ITS ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE. THROUGHOUT 2024, THE ORGANIZATION OPERATED WITH A SCHOOL DIRECTOR MODEL, AND AT THE BEGINNING OF 2025, SJDT HIRED NICOLE HASKINS AS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR. NICOLE NOW LEADS THE ARTISTIC VISION OF SJDT'S PRODUCTIONS AND FUTURE PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMING, WHILE FORMER SCHOOL DIRECTOR BROOKE WERTWIJN REMAINED ON STAFF AS AN INSTRUCTOR, ALLOWING THE ORGANIZATION TO RETAIN HER EXPERIENCE AND CONTINUITY WITH STUDENTS. SJDT'S ACADEMY REMAINED AT THE CENTER OF THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK, PROVIDING STRUCTURED BALLET EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD THROUGH ADVANCED LEVELS. THE ACADEMY OFFERED YEAR-ROUND TRAINING IN CLASSICAL BALLET TECHNIQUE, POINTE, VARIATIONS, CONDITIONING, AND COMPLEMENTARY DANCE STYLES, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON DISCIPLINE, ARTISTRY, CONFIDENCE, AND PERSONAL GROWTH. SJDT'S TRAINING MODEL INTENTIONALLY CONNECTS STUDIO INSTRUCTION WITH STAGE EXPERIENCE, GIVING DANCERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY THEIR TRAINING IN PERFORMANCE SETTINGS AND DEVELOP AS BOTH TECHNICIANS AND ARTISTS. A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT DURING THE YEAR WAS THE PRESENTATION OF SJDT'S 2024 PRODUCTION OF THE NUTCRACKER, ONE OF SAN JOSE'S LONGSTANDING HOLIDAY ARTS TRADITIONS AND A CORNERSTONE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION. IN 2024, SJDT RETURNED THE NUTCRACKER TO A FULL TWO-WEEKEND RUN OF PERFORMANCES AND AGAIN PARTNERED WITH THE CAMBRIAN SYMPHONY TO PROVIDE LIVE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC. THE PRODUCTION ENGAGED A LARGE CAST OF ACADEMY DANCERS AND OFFERED PERFORMERS ACROSS MULTIPLE AGE GROUPS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REHEARSE AND PERFORM IN A FULL-SCALE CLASSICAL BALLET PRODUCTION. SJDT ALSO PRESENTED ITS ANNUAL ONCE UPON A NUTCRACKER STUDENT MATINEE, WELCOMING HUNDREDS OF LOCAL SCHOOLCHILDREN, INCLUDING TITLE I STUDENTS, TO A SHORTENED EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE DESIGNED TO INTRODUCE YOUNG AUDIENCES TO BALLET. IN SPRING 2025, SJDT CONTINUED ITS ANNUAL TRADITION OF PRESENTING A FAMILY-FRIENDLY STORY BALLET WITH THE WIZARD OF OZ, THE FIRST SPRING PRODUCTION UNDER NICOLE HASKINS' ARTISTIC DIRECTION. THE PRODUCTION PROVIDED ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS BEYOND THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND ALLOWED DANCERS ACROSS AGE GROUPS TO COLLABORATE IN A LARGE-SCALE THEATRICAL PRODUCTION. DURING THE YEAR, SJDT ALSO EXPANDED ITS PRE-PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN BALLET ALLIANCE, A NETWORK OF PRE-PROFESSIONAL BALLET SCHOOLS THAT OFFERS MENTORSHIP, PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES, MASTER CLASSES, AND SCHOLARSHIP ACCESS. SJDT'S STUDIO COMPANY DANCERS TRAVELED TO SPOKANE, WASHINGTON TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BALLET ALLIANCE FESTIVAL AND PERFORMED AN ORIGINAL WORK CHOREOGRAPHED BY BROOKE WERTWIJN. A PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOCUS FOR SJDT DURING THE YEAR WAS ENSURING THAT BALLET TRAINING REMAINED ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS FROM A RANGE OF FINANCIAL BACKGROUNDS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONTINUED TO EMPHASIZE TUITION ASSISTANCE AND SCHOLARSHIPS AS PART OF THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND INCLUSION. SJDT PROVIDED TUITION ASSISTANCE TO SIX DANCERS, AWARDED ONE DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP, AND SUPPORTED TWO STUDENTS THROUGH ITS MALE DANCER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. THROUGH ITS ACADEMY, PRODUCTIONS, OUTREACH, AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS, SJDT CONTINUED TO PROVIDE RIGOROUS DANCE EDUCATION, TRANSFORMATIVE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCES, AND EXPANDED ACCESS TO THE ARTS FOR THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IT SERVES.

• WE OPENED A BALLET SCHOOL IN 2014 WITH THE HIRING OF A NEW ARTISTIC DIRECTOR. WE HAD NOT OFFERED A BALLET ACADEMY IN A LONG TIME. WE WENT FROM -0- STUDENTS IN 2014 TO OVER 100 STUDENTS IN THE 2018-2019 TIME FRAME. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF BUILDING THE SCHOOL FROM NOTHING 6 YEARS AGO AND WORKING TO MAKE IT A WONDERFUL SCHOOL. THESE STUDENTS PERFORM IN THE NUTCRACKER AND ALMOST THE ENTIRE ACADEMY IS INVOLVED WITH IT. THERE ARE OPEN AUDITIONS FOR THE NUTCRACKER - DANCERS OF ALL AGES ARE WELCOMED FROM AREA SCHOOLS TO AUDITION AND WE DOUBLE-CAST THE SHOW TO PROVIDE PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MANY DANCERS. WE PROVIDE MANY FREE PERFORMANCES TO THE PUBLIC EACH YEAR. THESE INCLUDE: "WORLD WIDE WOMEN GIRL'S FESTIVAL - 2018 AT SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY & 2019 AT THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS IN SAN FRANCISCOO "PRUNEYARD "PEACE ON EARTH" HOLIDAY LIGHTING EVENT WITH THE MAYOR OF CAMPBELL, CA 2018 "EASTRIDGE CENTER TREE LIGHTING EVENT, 2018 AND OTHER YEARS "SANTANA ROW CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING EVENT EACH NOVEMBER 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 "SAN FRANCISCO MOVEMENT & ARTS FESTIVAL 2017, 2018 AND 2019 SJDANCECO FESTIVAL - SANTANA ROW - EACH SPRING FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS WE MOUNT A SPRING PERFORMANCE EACH YEAR SINCE 2015 AT LOCAL THEATERS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND OUR DANCERS.

WE CARE ABOUT CREATING A STRONG ARTISTIC BASE IN THE SAN JOSE AREA AND DOING IT THROUGH THE ART OF BALLET. SINCERELY ANN TIMONEY PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
