Project Description

This program gives children at the Boys and Girls Club an opportunity to learn about ballet and the cultural aspects associated with it. Most of these children have parents who work and thus are unable to immerse themselves culturally. Kids of all ages can come and take a ballet class from 3:30 to 4:30 every Tuesday. Most weeks, there is a classical ballet class that begins with stretching and ends with a creative portion. Kids are able to express themselves while being physically active. Some weeks, there is a cultural session where they are taught about a certain ballet production and then read a story book illustrating the production. (e.g. The Nutcracker). Also, the kids learn miming from each story ballet, which gives them great acting skills.

We, as a community, should go out to Children's Hopitals and specifically see those children who have cancer. We should play with them and make them laugh and show them love and kindness because some of those kids are in a lot of pain and want to give up at times. We should encourage them and love them so that they can forget about the pain and the hurt, if only for a moment. We should try and light up there lives again and make them feel special. We should sing with them songs of encouragement and dance and play board games, cards, or make up games with them. We should find out their best interests and take them to heart and use them to make them happy.

This group was created on September 11, 2004 by Carlton C.J. Jaushlin at the age of 16. We are a marching and dance drill team working to provide training, discipline, challenges and competition opportunities for under privilege youth in the Wichita area. Our goal is to provide direction to the youth in an effort to keep the out of and away from gangs and gang violence, drugs, and jail. Being apart of the drill team requires that the youth have a C average or above to stay on the team. they also must be team players. Getting the youth involved in a postive , chareter-building program gives them a more postive outlook on their future, a desire to complete their education an hope to go on to aquire a college degree.

Project Description

Encore is a student run/ performed musical revue that is performed as a benefit concert. Students and alumni of the Beaver Dam High school get together in August to put on a concert of songs from Broadway musicals. the concert has been running for 5 years, and has raised over $20,000 for the High school's music and drama programs. As I said this is a student run show. we have no adults helping us whatsoever! Music is arranged and taught by myself. The show director and choreographer oversee dance and stage presence. we have a Producer and PR person that take care of selling tickets, and getting us out into the community to perform at community events. The entire show usually consists of 25+ songs and it's all taught in 2 months (rehearsing 3 days a week). we have had sell out crowds every year, and we hope to continue to do this show for years to come. Our hope is to help soften the blow of state-wide budget cuts, and keep the programs from being cut from the curriculum.

Project Description

Our high school club is hosting a Senior Prom for senior citizens in our community. The prom would be run like a high school prom for teens, complete with music, dancing, dance contests and prizes, crowning of a prom king and queen, corsages, photos and refreshments. Teens will host, usher and serve. The goal is to provide local senior citizens with a fun evening, connect them with each other and bring them together with teenagers, two segments of the community that otherwise don't have contact. Then when teens and seniors see each other in local parks, stores they can greet each other and feel that they are part of a true community. Seniors may feel lonely and meeting their neighbors may help; teens often need guidance or just someone to listen and may feel more comfortable talking to seniors rather than their parents.

The teens are working hard to obtain donations of decorations, food, music, prizes, and flowers. This grant would help ensure a wonderful evening for the seniors.

Although the event is free any voluntary donations will be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Thank you!

"Dancing with the Golden Stars" is the only Intergenerational program in our area. It's our spin off of the hit television show, "Dancing with the Stars." Our program has it's differences though. Instead of pairing up with a celebrity, we partner up with senior citizens at the Ingram Senior Center, in Salem, New Hampshire. Our goal is to have fun, learn how to ballroom dance and create a bonding experience with a people that are part of a different genereation. We rehearse every Wednesday from two-thirty to four o'clocke in the afternoon for ten weeks. At the end of the ten weeks, each "couple" has to participate in our "competition." We even have a panel of experience dancers for our judges. The bonds we have created are so strong, none of us will ever forget. It also gives every participant something to look forward to every week.
