Help Build Dance Foundry
Donation protected
Creating a lasting work of beauty takes more than just the right materials. It goes above and beyond passion; it requires the steady touch of expert hands, the firm discipline born from knowledge and experience, the trustworthy guidance of a masterful mind. Creating beautiful, strong dancers is no exception.
For over 30 years, Kelly Oakes-Dent has helped bring up dancers with the same guiding principle. Many of her former and current students have reached far and wide and have been sought out for their awe inspiring level of control, their mastery of technique, and their overall strength as dancers. Ms. Kelly believes that within every student lies a masterpiece in the making. With the best guidance, from strong foundations, to patient working and re-working, through polishing the tiniest details, every dance student can find their own brilliance.
Ms. Kelly, along with her trusted, talented, and vastly experienced teaching partner, Jennilee Garcia, wish to bring more exceptional dancers out into the world. They want to guide dancers with an eye on the future yet a strong foundation in their core, dancers that are classically forged. That’s how they envisioned Dance Foundry. But they know that to make their vision a reality they need more than likeminded people with the best teaching tools, they need the right environment, the right place. They need the help of people like you.
Dance Foundry opens to the public at the end of August and we need help from you to build our dream.
Dance Foundry’s Mission:
Dance foundry’s mission is to instill with consistency and accountability an exemplary dance foundation with in a safe and friendly environment. We will provide creative performing opportunities for our aspiring young dancers, encouraging artistic growth and a comprehensive dance education.
Your donations will help us, you, and your family have the best teaching tools:
Ballet Barres:
The barre is the dancer’s best friend through thick and thin. It opens up new challenges to tackle while offering a steady hand to hold. It motivates you, letting you know that although you may not be there yet, you are closer to the goal than you were yesterday
Sprung floors and Marley Floors:
At Dance Foundry, our dancers’ safety is paramount. We take great care to understand and know how dance moves impact the body, how jumps and quick movements affect joints. These floors will keep you from having to think about those details and train fully in becoming the best dancer you can be.
Sound equipment:
Music is what reels us in and rhythm nurtures dancers’ artistic growth. Stereo equipment and quality sound system is an instrumental part of dance teaching. Who we are becomes clear through music, and we want to offer the best music experience to fuel the best dance experience.
Mirrors:
Our faculty’s experience is a great asset, but any dancer should be able to develop the eye for detail and self-examination. Everyone learns differently and sometimes you just need to look at yourself to extract the better out of you. Mirrors help students understand visually where they are and what they should aspire for.
Furniture:
We want a Dance Foundry experience that is both gratifying and comfortable for students and family members alike. More than just a school, we shall be a place for our clients to feel at home, a place for kids to study, a place to relax, a place to share good memories and socialize with peers.
This campaign is the first step in fulfilling a vision, a studio built with dance students as the priority, with safety in mind, comfortably accommodating. Our dream is that Dance Foundry should become a place where every one of our dancers can build the best structure of their future selves, a place of support, encouragement, and fulfillment.
We have a strong desire to pass on the purity and beauty of classical ballet, which is so important in our life. We are committed to training well-rounded dancers with a strong foundation in ballet. Still, we believe that a good foundation is only strengthened through variety of dancing styles and skills, from creative movement, modern dance, to jazz, contemporary, tap. Dancers of all ages are invited to take part of our Dance Foundry!
