N D A N A BALLET
CONSERVATORY
Honoring Trodiiion. Inspiing Innovodon.
Indiana Ballet Conservatory — 2019 Grant Application — Exhibit A
Indiana Ballet Conservatory is a 5010 not -for -profit organization situated in Carmel that is
dedicated to supporting and furthering the arts through the teaching of dance and ballet,
producing ballet productions and performances of dance and music including new choreography
created by the Artistic Staff, and engaging in outreach to the artistically underserved through free
performances, workshops and other events.
IBC has three primary and complementary missions:
- To provide premiere dance instruction to a growing community of youth through
education of the highest excellence by unparalleled instructional methodology and renowned
instructors;
- To provide professional performance opportunities for talented students that will reach
an ever -broadening audience of those who appreciate art in Indiana;
To connect with the community through free performances and educational
opportunities for everyone including the underserved, the elderly, and those with disabilities or
special needs.
IBC is the only organization in Indianapolis that meets certain specific dance education needs and
it is the only dance school that provides community outreach and free performances to the
extent that it does each year in Indianapolis and Carmel. IBC is the only ballet school in Indiana
that exclusively teaches the Vaganova method of Ballet instruction, which is a unique method
taught at the famed Vaganova Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia and passed down through
graduates of the school, who include IBC faculty. IBC's instructors have qualifications to teach in
this area that are not matched by any other school or instructors in Indianapolis. The Vaganova
Method adheres to a strict curriculum of study that balances strength, grace, stamina, artistry,
and acting and includes ballet exams at each level before a student moves on to the next Level.
IBC's reputation and methodologies have attracted students from numerous states across the
United States and five other countries including Canada, Italy, Australia, Austria, and Japan. IBC,
and its students, competing against other dance schools from Indiana and from across the
country in international competitions such as the Youth America Grand Prix, ADClIBC
International Ballet Competition, and Universal Ballet competition have won numerous awards,
including being named Outstanding School for the 7th year in a row. Additionally, IBC has been
recognized for Outstanding Teacher, Outstanding Choreographer, 1st place in Ensembles, and
Page 1 of 3
many 111 place awards in other categories. Attached is a copy of IBC's 2018 YAGP, ADC I IBC, and
Universal Ballet Competition achievements. In addition, IBC is the only Indiana dance school that
provides each year hundreds of free tickets to its performances to needy children with economic
and medical challenges, distributed through local charitable organizations including the Gary
Brackett Foundation, the Children's Bureau, Make -A -Wish Foundation, and many others. IBC
makes a significant number of appearances throughout Carmel and Indianapolis each year to
enrich and share the arts with the artistically underserved.
This grant will enable IBC to continue providing unparalleled artistic instruction to Indiana
dancers, to continue creating and sharing with the community dance productions of the highest
caliber, and to share art with the artistically underserved throughout Indiana.
Indiana Ballet Conservatory seeks a Grant in the amount of $75,000 to maintain and expand its
arts programs. These funds would be spent in the following way:
- Productions: 27% or $20,250 would be spent to support the costs associated with IBC's
professional ballet productions, and the cost of creating new and innovative productions,
including costs to upgrade or purchase new costumes and sets for IBC's productions. These funds
would enable IBC to continue its efforts to share the beauty of traditional ballets and the
excitement of new and innovative choreography with Indiana audiences, consistent with IBC's
philosophy of "Honoring Tradition & Inspiring Innovation." As was the case during the
2017/2018 Grant Year, IBC would allocate production funds from a Carmel Arts Grant to its
Carmel performances only.
- Scholarships: 13% or $9,750 would be spent to support scholarships for highly talented
students at the Conservatory who are economically -challenged. These funds would enable IBC
to keep very talented students who have developed through the Conservatory's training over the
years and who show professional promise even when such student's family situation makes it
difficult or impossible for them to continue paying tuition. Both the Conservatory and the
student would benefit immensely in such cases by the continuity in training.
- Faculty Compensation and General Operating: 40% or $30,000 of the funds would go
towards Faculty Compensation and other operating expenses to enable IBC to continue its three-
part mission including the provision of dance classes and Master Classes in Carmel and the
development of its Carmel productions. IBC's Artistic Faculty is unparalleled anywhere in the
Midwest in the scope of their performance careers, their academic training, and their results
measured by choreography awards and the success of graduates of the Conservatory. (See
Attached Faculty Bios). Notwithstanding their credentials, the small annual budget of IBC has
Page 2 of 3
kept Faculty salaries very low in relation to comparable professionals. These funds would enable
IBC to retain its current quality Faculty which is a critical component of IBC's artistic value to the
Carmel community.
- Outreach: 20% or $15,000 would be spent in outreach, by providing access to IBC
performances to children and families in need who are underserved artistically. The funds would
cover the costs of tickets to productions and enable IBC to bring its art to students and members
of the community in Carmel in a variety of venues. These funds would make a significant
contribution to bringing the art of dance to those who might otherwise never have that
introduction. IBC commits to using these funds for its Carmel productions and outreach to
include and encompass Carmel families and children.

Indiana Ballet Conservatory — 2019 Grant Application — Exhibit G
Year -End Report on 2017/2018 - $20,000 Grant Award
Indiana Ballet Conservatory is a 501c3 not -for -profit organization situated in Carmel that is
dedicated to supporting and furthering the arts through the teaching of dance and ballet,
producing ballet productions and performances of dance and music including new choreography
created by the Artistic Staff, and engaging in outreach to the artistically underserved through free
performances, workshops and other events.
IBC has three primary and complementary missions:
To provide premiere dance instruction to a growing community of youth through
education of the highest excellence by unparalleled instructional methodology and renowned
instructors;
- To provide professional performance opportunities for talented students that will reach
an ever -broadening audience of those who appreciate art in Indiana;
- To connect with the community through free performances and educational
opportunities for everyone including the underserved, the elderly, and those with disabilities or
special needs.
Indiana Ballet Conservatory's 2017/2018 Proposal included the following categories and
allocation of percentages for a grant that was made in the amount of $20,000:
Productions: 27% of grant funds ($5,400) was to be allocated to support the costs
associated with IBC's professional ballet productions, and the cost of creating new and
innovative productions, including costs to upgrade or purchase new costumes and sets for IBC's
productions under development. IBC specifically allocated 2017/2018 Grant funds to support
its performances in Carmel only, which included: December 2017 City of Carmel's
Christkindlmarkt, March 2018 YAGP Preview Show at the Tarkington Center, July 2018
Summer Gala at Creekside Middle School, and year-round demonstrations and classes at the
Russian School of Indiana held at Carmel High School.

Scholarships: 13% or $2,600 was to be allocated to support scholarships for highly
talented students at the Carmel Conservatory who are economically -challenged. These funds
were awarded to IBC scholarship applicants with great talent and economic need so that they
could continue their studies at our Carmel studios.
- Faculty Compensation and General Operating: 40% or $8,000 of the funds was to be
allocated to Faculty Compensation and other operating expenses to enable IBC to continue its
three-part mission including the provision of dance classes and Master Classes in Carmel and
the development of its Carmel productions. IBC's Artistic Faculty is unparalleled anywhere in
the Midwest in the scope of their performance careers, their academic training, and their results
measured by choreography awards and the success of graduates of the Conservatory. (See
Attached Faculty Bios).
Outreach: 20% or $4,000 was to be spent in outreach, by providing access to IBC
performances to children and families in need who are underserved artistically. The funds were
to cover the costs of tickets to productions and enable IBC to bring its art to students and
members of the community in Carmel in a variety of venues. Each year in March, IBC invites the
public, free of charge, to the YAGP dress rehearsal at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theater. IBC
also gifted or discounted approximately 200 tickets at an average cost of $35 per ticket to its
various performances throughout the year, which includes the Summer Gala performance which
was held at Creekside Middle School. Additionally, this includes tickets to IBC's annual
performances of The Nutcracker, which were not specifically supported by funds from the Carmel
Arts Grant as these performances were held at the IMA in Indianapolis; however, the recipients
of those tickets did include many Carmel -based families of children with serious medical and
economic challenges, and therefore we wanted to include that information for you.
