Turning Pointe School of Dance was founded in 1999 with a mission of preparing the dancer in body and spirit to glorify God through artistic excellence. Beginning with 23 children, it has grown into a successful school with over 330 students studying dance technique in a warm, Christian setting. Over the past decade Turning Pointe has been committed to bringing excellence in dance to the Lakeshore community through family-friendly, God-glorifying performances at the Knickerbocker Theater and outreach performances in churches, nursing homes, and schools.
The arts are essential to the vitality of a community, and Turning Pointe strengthens the Lakeshore's family focus by providing Christ-centered productions and excellent technical dance training at affordable prices. However, the income generated from ticket sales only covers 17% of our operating expenses. With donations accounting for a mere 9%, program tuition accounts for a disproportionate 74% of our income source. Last year we gave $30,000 in scholarships for dancers who would not have the opportunity to study dance without financial assistance, but requests for assistance continue to come in. Will you help us?
To ensure that Turning Pointe will continue to impact the lives of children and will continue to provide excellent large scale, God-glorifying productions, we have launched the Pointe to the Future Capital Campaign seeking financial support from local individuals and corporations for these crucial aspects of its ministry:
P: Provide scholarships for the training and education of underprivileged students and
O: Outreach to area service organizations as well as the general public with
I: Innovation productions while
N: Nurturing the dancers' faith and ensuring that
T: Tomorrow's children will receive a legacy through the establishment of an
E: Endowment Fund.
We thank you for you involvement and ask that you prayerfully consider giving generously to provide our community with the gift of dance!
