First, through the reduced tuition Dance Academy where ballet folklorico classes are held weekly at the Anita N. Martinez Recreation Center. This provides Dallas children in an under served population accessibility to dance instruction, they could otherwise not afford. Second, the ANMBF Performing Companies are a professionally trained troupe of 60 dancers ranging in age from 5 years to veterans of the art. This dance company presents over 100 performances and engagements in the City of Dallas alone, annually. As a resident company of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, along with an array of events hosted by the city and independently contract, ANMBF strives to provide quality, culturally enriched programming to residents of Dallas, year round. Third, ANMBF will continue to offer, first rate After-SchoolArts Education programming. Through longstanding partnership with DISD, customized, curriculum based programs will feature children's books written by authors of diverse ethnicity and backgrounds. This focused coupling of art and reading, attempts to bridge the gap between the lack of arts education in the public school system. ln lieu of Covid-19 and regulations surrounding gatherings, all of the programming has been altered to be deployed virtually if need be. This includes but is not limited to online classes for the Dance Academy, filmed and packaged performances for community performances and contracted services, along with virtual rehearsals for the Perfomring Companies.
