Dear Audience Members and Friends

Welcome to today’s performance! We are thrilled that you have joined us to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and achievement of the students on stage and thank you for your support. You will see on the dancers’ faces the true impact of NDI New Mexico’s program: children are working hard, doing their best, never giving up, and becoming healthier. We are proud to let you know that this year, NDI New Mexico will serve nearly 9,000 children across the state with programs that inspire them to be their best by building their self-confidence and character, supporting their academic success, and improving their health and quality of life. Since 1994, we have provided programs to over 70,000 youth in New Mexico.

We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to experience excellence, success, and the chance to achieve their dreams.

In the future, we hope to eventually serve even more children and schools from our wait list with high quality in-school and out-of- school programs. With the completion of The Hiland Theater renovation in Albuquerque and the training of new teachers, in the past few years we have increased both the depth and breadth of our programming in the state. In addition, we now have new evaluation results which show the profound impact of the NDI New Mexico program on children’s attitudes and on their test scores. A special thank you goes to all the volunteers and donors who help make NDI New Mexico’s statewide program possible. Your commitment has helped transform children’s lives. Once again, we are happy that you have joined us today and hope that you enjoy the show! Yours in Teaching Children Excellence,

Stir until well blended, serve in urban and rural communities all over New Mexico. OUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

NDI NEW MEXICO NDI-NM.ORG 17 How does a youth development program prepare children to become hard working and successful students and citizens? What healthy ingredients must come together to inspire the passion and persistence needed to reach life’s important goals? At NDI New Mexico, children learn to master the “CORE FOUR” – work hard, do your best, never give up, and be healthy – our guiding principals for EXCELLENCE that motivate beyond the dance class and into the future. By providing the key ingredients that create life-changing experiences for our dancers, NDI New Mexico’s recipe for success proves that when you hold the bar very high, children will strive to reach it. Dynamic teaching artists make the difference. NDI New Mexico trains artists with professional and performance backgrounds to deliver our dynamic, high-energy programs. Rigorous preparation for program instructors begins with participation in our two week intensive Teaching Excellence® workshop, followed by a one- to two-year apprenticeship and yearly artistic staff enrichment workshops to learn new skills and to share best practices. By modeling the philosophy that good enough is not good enough, they show children what it means to strive for excellence by always doing your personal best. Couple this with a deep love and respect for children, a passion for teaching, humor and energy, and you have the core ingredients required to ensure high-quality programs for the children we serve. Talented, well-trained instructors and pianists who care deeply about the impact they have on the children they teach define what we do.

NDI New Mexico knows that every child can succeed when given the proper motivation. The foundation of our philosophy is to set high expectations, create a safe learning environment where mistakes are part of the learning process, use fun and engaging teaching techniques to master challenges, and give enthusiastic praise for personal and group triumphs.

WORK DO YOUR NEVER BE HARD BEST GIVE UP HEALTHY NDI New Mexico’s Recipe for Success

Our programs are goal-oriented and teach children that hard work can be fun and exciting. By setting strong and achievable goals, and striving for excellence during each step of the process, children learn what it means to have a solid work ethic. The philosophy of holding high expectations and never underestimating children is another key ingredient in our recipe for success.

Culminating performances are a part of every NDI New Mexico program and give children the opportunity to gain valuable positive attention from their families, peers, and the community at large. This year alone, our 9,000 dancers will perform for over 80,000 audience members throughout the state. Enthusiastic audiences are a mix of parents and families of the dancers, school children, teachers, principals, elected officials, business leaders, program supporters, and members of the community. Children tell us that these performances make them feel proud of their accomplishments and create lasting memories of being a star! They learn to overcome their stage fright and shine as they get their moment in the spotlight. We know that performing for an audience is a motivating factor for learning focus, tenacity and teamwork.

The Dance Barns in Santa Fe and The Hiland in Albuquerque are NDI New Mexico’s dedicated and inspiring learning centers where children from the community can come together to experience the magic of the arts. Our facilities are physically and emotionally safe environments and gathering places for families. Each day they are filled with children of all ages and their mentors making art together as they explore what it means to be excellent. By providing high-quality staff and programs that are either free or offered on a sliding fee basis, we make the arts accessible and fill a gap for children who do not have many options for youth development outside of sports. Over 1,000 ....continued on page 20 OUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

NDI NEW MEXICO NDI-NM.ORG 19 NDI New Mexico’s Recipe for Success

children come to the Dance Barns and over 700 to The Hiland each week – children who are being physically active, emotionally nurtured, and artistically engaged. Independent scientific evaluations of NDI New Mexico’s measurable impact on students in our programs are conducted on a yearly basis. Children say that participating in classes and performances makes them feel proud, confident and energetic. Classroom teachers report that their students are learning about teamwork, goal setting and positive risk taking. Principals love that they can bring the arts into their schools in a way that joyfully improves focus and concentration. Parents say that their children are learning responsibility and how to be healthy and fit. All of these values and behaviors can help students do better in school and effectively spill over into all aspects of their lives, preparing them for success as adult members of their communities.

It takes a village to raise a child! Through the dedication of the NDI New Mexico Board of Directors, our incredible volunteers, community partners – Department of Health, public schools, City of Albuquerque, City of Santa Fe, Bernalillo County, corporate sponsors – and generous donors, we are able to serve children in 34 communities all over the state of New Mexico. NDI New Mexico’s recipe for success is the time- tested bringing together of our award-winning teaching methodology and a belief in the power of the arts to engage and motivate children towards EXCELLENCE. We are serving up generous portions of life-changing joyful experiences for dancers and audiences alike.

Two locations, one in Albuquerque and one in Santa Fe, help us to achieve our goal of teaching children excellence.

The Dance Barns in Santa Fe and The Hiland in Albuquerque were built to meet the needs of the children in our outreach programs as well as from the community. Each week 1,700 children between the ages of 3 and 18 years old come to these two vibrant facilities for high quality after-school classes with a focus on excellence. The Dance Barns and The Hiland have become assets to their communities. They provide a nurturing and engaging “third place” for children and their families – a place separate from home or school where children and teens can come together to explore creative movement, ballet, modern, tap, jazz, voice, and theater. Showcases onstage give each child an opportunity to show what they have learned and gain exciting and valuable performance experience. Classes at The Dance Barns and The Hiland are open to all children in the community and are offered on a sliding fee scale.
