A 501(c)(3) charitable organization
Suzann DeLay, Artistic Director
January 13, 2015
Honorable Mayor Brainard
Carmel City Hall
One Civic Square
Carmel, In 46032
Dear Mayor Brainard,
Central Indiana Dance Ensemble (CIDE) would like to thank you, the Carmel City Council
and the City of Carmel for honoring CIDE as a grant recipient in 2014. Through the City's
generous support we were able to continue meeting our mission of providing quality dance
instruction and high caliber performances.
Our first performance of 2014, we performed our repertoire concert, Mixed Rep in The
Booth Tarkington Civic Theater at The Center for the Performing Arts in March. During
this repertoire concert, CIDE was able to debut several original and set pieces. In May of
2014, CIDE presented two performances of The Sleeping Beauty in the Booth Tarkington
Civic Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. Both performances of The Sleeping
Beauty had record ticket sales.
We began our 15th Anniversary Season in July, with our senior company being selected by
The Gerald Aprino and Robert Joffrey Foundation to perform the famous piece "Birthday
Variations ". "Birthday Variations ", an original piece choreographed by American
choreographer Gerald Arpino in 1986. "Birthday Variations" was commissioned by Becky
D'Angelo as a birthday present to her husband Dino, who owned Chicago's Civic Opera
House, and loved Giuseppe Verdi's music. CIDE has been invited by Larry Attaway,
Executive Director for Butler Ballet, to perform "Birthday Variations" at the Butler Ballet
spring performance. Butler Ballet was selected by The Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffery
Foundation to perform "Viva Vivaldi!" CIDE hosted their yearly two week summer
intensive with instruction provided by Ashley Walton, Pollyanna Ribeiro and Robert
Moore. CIDE continued with its end of summer workshops with instruction provided by
Kim Sagami (from The Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey Foundation), Ashley Walton and
Jill Eathorne Bahr.
Our 15th Anniversary Season opened with our holiday run of The Nutcracker, this event
econtinues to be our flagship production and a preeminent performance among ballet
4993 Deer Ridge Drive North • Carmel • IN • 46033
www.cidedance.org • info @cidedance.org • (31 7) 844 -7453
organizations across Indiana. Our 2014 -2015 season continues with our repertoire concert
performance, Mixed Rep on March 1S`, at The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. We will
debut "Birthday Variations" during our repertoire concert performance, this will be the first
time a pre - professional company has been selected to perform a piece from The Gerald
Arpino and Robert Joffrey Foundation. CIDE has invited Butler University to perform
"Viva Vivaldi!" at our concert performance. Also debuted will be original choreography by
Ashley Walton, Jill Bahr and the staff of Central Indiana Dance Ensemble. Mixed Rep will
also feature various works created for the repertoire concert and will be performed by some
of our younger dancers. On May 16th' CIDE will perform the timeless classic Cinderella,
on the stage of The Booth Tarkington Civic Theater. All of CIDE events are fully open to
the public and over the course of the year, performances are held at various locations across
Carmel and the surrounding areas to encourage attendance enabling us to reach across the
community. We are honored to be a Resident Company with The Center for the Performing
Arts.
With the end to our 2014 -2015 season rapidly approaching, we are aggressively making
plans for our educational dance series this summer. CIDE's Summer Ballet Intensive is
open to any dancer that is 10 years of age and older, attendance is not limited to Company
members. Dancers may opt to participate in one or two weeks of intense ballet technique
training as well as contemporary, modern and jazz instruction. We have requested that one
of the master teachers remain here for an additional week following the summer intensive
to choreograph and set an original piece on the Company. We are also requesting that
Richard Rein (renowned Regisseur) come in late summer to restage Lisa de Ribere piece
" #4 St. James Place" on the Company.
Outreach is an integral part of our educational program. In the fall of 2014, CIDE gave
back to the community by taking time out of our busy rehearsal schedule to volunteer at
Gleaner's Food Bank. Our dancers, parents and artistic staff participated in Gleaner's
Backsacks — Weekend Food for Kids program by packing bags of food to be distributed at
schools throughout the area for children to take home over the weekend. Several members
of the company took time in December to perform selections from The Nutcracker for area
Prime Life members. Also several of our dancers visited Riley Children's Hospital where
they performed and visited children in costume to brighten their day. Also during the year
we participate in the Barnes and Nobles Book Fair and Reading program, CIDE spends the
afternoon performing, reading and volunteering with those attending.
Central Indiana Dance Ensemble is a Carmel -based pre - professional Ballet Company.
Each year through a rigorous and selective audition process, approximately 50 to 60 youth
dancers between the ages of ,10 and 18 are invited into the Company. On average, more
than 80% of these talented CIDE Company members are residents of Carmel. Many have
participated in local, regional and national ballet competitions. CIDE also provides
training and opportunities for our dancers to win dance scholarships at prestigious
universities and coveted dance programs across the United States. Graduates of CIDE can
be found at Fordham University, University of South Carolina, Indiana University,
University of Iowa, University of Utah, Ballet West, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and Houston
Ballet.
Each season, CIDE has also been honored and privileged to be a part of Carmel's annual
Christmas tree lighting ceremony. We enjoy giving back and providing an entertaining
show for the citizens of Carmel.
CIDE ended the 2014 calendar year in a strong yet tenuous financial position and projects
similar trends for its current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2015. Financial strength has
been a hallmark of our existence and is due in large part to our fiscal discipline, as
illustrated by the fact we have only four paid staff positions, including the Artistic Director,
Assistant to the Artistic Director, Youth Company Director and Ballet Mistress. These
positions are filled on a part-time basis, with Suzann DeLay, Casey Clark, Ashley Jones
and Erika Cole spending countless hours of training, rehearsal, and performance time
which does not translate into much of a salary if broken down on an hourly basis. The
CIDE staff works tirelessly with CIDE's dancers, who themselves demonstrate a
tremendous commitment through their attendance in classes and rehearsals meticulously
preparing for each production performance and bettering their own dance abilities.
CIDE is also fortunate to have a strong support network through our parent organization,
Friends of CIDE. Friends of CIDE unselfishly dedicate hundreds of hours by volunteering
with our annual performances and spearheading fundraising activities. Having a strong
support network has continued to keep CIDE a solvent charitable organization.
Continued rejuvenation of our artistic portrayal and choreography of classical ballets
ensures our dancers do not just maintain the status quo but continually challenge their
physical and mental strength and stamina to meet the arduous requirements of national
trainers, choreographers, and industry professionals.
Having the loyal support of our patrons and benefactors has continued to exist and has
helped CIDE succeed as a charitable organization. Through their generosity and support of
attending our events, their contributions, sponsorship, and scholarships help fund our daily
operating activities and ensure the wellbeing and development of our dancers by securing
practice space, supporting our Artistic Staff and Board, and engaging outside instructors
and choreographers from the national dance community.
CIDE was honored to receive a grant from the City of Carmel in 2014 to recoup a portion
of the cost of our summer programs last year. Regrettably, the grants and sponsorships we
have received in recent years are declining. We continue to host multiple fundraising
events and activities each season; however, revenue garnered from these activities has
flattened. Each year we become increasingly unsure regarding the demand for our events
as it has been historically.
As a Resident Company at The Center for the Performing Arts, we thoroughly appreciate
having a premiere facility in Central Indiana. The highly professional staff allows CIDE to
present high caliber performances in the theater. Continued rising production costs add
additional stress for our productions. In order to be able to perform in The Booth
Tarkington Civic Theater, we have to compress our production schedule down to where we
may only have one rehearsal on stage prior to the curtain raising. Having the funds for
additional time in the theater would allow the dancers more time on stage to familiarize
themselves and to better prepare to perform. This extra time for rehearsal will enhance our
performances.
To that end we are requesting assistance from the City of Carmel in arts funding and are
asking that the City of Carmel consider a financial contribution of $37,070.00 as detailed in
the following pages. This will allow CIDE to rejuvenate its assets and continue funding its
operations in order to remain a vital part of Carmel's arts community as a premiere,
classical ballet performance option for Carmel residents. Our mission is to continually meet
the dance educational needs for local Carmel youth and other area youth interested in the
performing arts. Your assistance with funding our request will allow us to continue our
mission.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration and eagerly await your response. Attached you
will find all of the required information that is requested. We could sincerely use the
requested funding and would greatly appreciate your assistance.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Please let us know if you require
additional information from CIDE or have any other questions. We look forward to
continuing to partner with the City of Carmel and remain a loyal component of its vibrant
arts community.
Sincerely,
