The New Dance Foundation for the Arts, Inc., is dedicated to the promulgation of dance as a viable 21st century art form. In so doing the Foundation makes available to artists, students and community members alike, all the accompanying benefits that association with such an elevating pursuit affords. These benefits include varied opportunities to create, perform and view dance; to increase the str
ength, flexibility and coordination of the physical instrument; to refine social interaction; and to deepen and diversify aesthetic perceptions. We assert that in a society increasingly defined by technology it is the inescapable human element present in dance that enjoins its educational and artistic role in building the human spirit. NDFA's ongoing activities include production of the Las Vegas Dance in the Desert Festival, now entering its 19th consecutive season, sponsorship of local dance companies and choreographers, providing touring support and performance exchange opportunities for international and Nevada artists, creating dance lecture/demonstrations and classes for students of all ages, and collaborating with musicians and visual artists on joint projects. The New Dance Foundation for the Arts, Inc., is a non profit, federally recognized 501(c)(3) and has received grants from the Nevada Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Las Vegas Clark County Library District, and private donors. Our latest projects focus on raising scholarship funds for talented students to pursue the College of Southern Nevada Dance Program's Certificate of Achievement in Dance, providing touring support for dancers to perform in the Arizona Dance Festival at the Tempe Center for the Arts, and hiring live musicians to accompany dance performances at the Summerlin Library Performing Arts Center next summer. All of us associated with NDFA sincerely thank you for your consideration in helping us bring motion to the arts!
