Dear Friends of The Project Dance Foundation,

As I reflect on this past year, I am overjoyed by the countless ways The Project Dance Foundation volunteers and donors have served the dance communities in New York City and around the world with their time and resources.

Although this is a joyous time for many, the need for hope and healing steadily grows. Dancers around the world are offering their gift on global stages for the sole purpose of bringing life and the love of God to the public through the universal language of dance. Volunteers and donors are committed to joining together to share the dance arts and a message that will change the human heart.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:15

Since 2002 The Project Dance Foundation has been serving dancers in the market place and the church. We serve the needs of market place dancers by offering performance, audition, and training opportunities in New York City, London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Houston, Atlanta, Washington DC, Orlando, Toronto, Brisbane, Penang, Los Angeles, and Manila. Soon we will also reach out to Denver, Bolivia, Amsterdam, Kansas City and St. Louis. We serve the needs of the church by offering workshops, lectures, performances and dance training to churches all over the world. More than 1000 individual dancers and 70 dance companies are affiliated with The Project Dance Foundation. All are united with a similar vision: to positively impact culture through artistic integrity.

Your personal contribution of volunteer time and financial gifts is critical to meeting these needs. Without the generous support of our faithful volunteers and donors, we would not be able to effectively reach out to dance communities worldwide.

* $200 provides a dancer’s participation in one of our international events.
* $2,000 provides dance training space for over 400 dancers.
* $12,000 provides stage and sound equipment for 1 all-day outdoor dance concert.

Please prayerfully consider how you can give generously during this Christmas season.
Volunteer your time. Make a donation. Pray for our dance communities.

May you have a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Cheryl Cutlip
Executive Director

A MESSAGE FROM FOUNDING DIRECTOR, CHERYL CUTLIP

Dear Dancers,

More than 10 years ago I felt a call deep in my heart to do something with dance that would change the world. Truthfully, I never imagined that Project Dance would go beyond its first year in New York City. Shortly after the events of 911 we mounted a stage in Times Square and danced for more than 10 hours in the pouring down rain. A few friends joined us and together we believed that Hope and Healing would refresh those who passed by our stage. As I look at the calendar of events for 2011 I realize that many of us around the world share the same heartfelt call to impact culture through the language of dance. I'm honored to continue this important work and look forward to meeting you along the way. Our event coordinators in each city will welcome you with open arms and seek to encourage you in your own dance journey.

Sincerely,
Cheryl Cutlip
