Jamie Hustel Cindi Melcho Central Indiana Dance Ensemble is a Carmel -based pre- professional Ballet Sue Noonan Company. Each year through a rigorous and selective audition process, Ray Robinson approximately 50 to 60 youth dancers between the ages of 10 and 18 are Mary Ann Saggese invited into the company. On average, more than 80% of these talented CIDE Lesley Semo company members are residents of Carmel and have p artic i p ated in local Peggy Surbey p y p p Karen Wheeler regional and national ballet competitions. CIDE also provides training and Virginia wood opportunities for our dancers to win dance scholarships at prestigious universities and coveted dance programs across the United States. In recent Advisory Board years CIDE has had three of its company members awarded contracts with professional dance companies. Thomas Blackwell Tami Hiter 1 1142 Linden Lane Carmel Indiana 46033 TFone: (317 844 7453 web: www.cidedance.org email: cidedancc @yahoo.com Each season CIDE stages a production of "The Nutcracker a storybook ballet production, 1 and the Spring Concert featuring pieces from its annual repertoire, which is always performed at one of the Carmel Clay Schools' auditoriums. CIDE has also been honored and privileged to be a part of Carmel's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony to play its part in providing an enlightening show for the citizens of Carmel. All events are fully open to the public at a variety of locations across Carmel and surrounding locations to encourage attendance and reach across the community. We are eagerly awaiting the opening of Carmel's Performing Arts Center and the ability to contribute our patronage and performances in securing the Arts Design District as a valuable economic and artistic hub in the Central Indiana. CIDE expects to end the 2009 calendar year in a strong yet tenuous financial position and projects similar trends for its current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2010 and happens to be our 10th Anniversary Season. Financial strength has been a hallmark of our decade of existence and is due in large part to our fiscal discipline, as illustrated by the fact we have only four paid positions, which includes the artistic director, two assistants to the artistic director, and a youth ensemble director. These positions are also only on a part-time basis, with Suzann, Oybeck, Casey, and Ashley spending countless hours of training, rehearsal, and performance time that doesn't work out to much on an hourly basis. They work tirelessly with CIDE's dancers, who themselves demonstrate tireless commitment during classes and rehearsals to meticulously prepare for each production performance and better their own dance abilities. CIDE's success can also be attributed to literally hundreds of hours of volunteer work, and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have such a strong support network, including dozens of volunteers who unselfishly dedicate hours of their valuable free time by helping our annual performances run smoothly and spearheading our variety of fundraising activities. The final factor in CIDE's ability to exist and succeed as an organization is the loyal support of our patrons and benefactors, who enjoy attending our events and generously provide contributions, grants, and scholarships to help fund our daily operating activities and ensure the well being 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. 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. These valuable support networks help make the community aware of CIDE and help us fulfill our mission of providing cultural and educational enrichment to the Central Indiana Community. Yet despite our support base and fiscal discipline throughout our history, our near -term outlook is not quite certain due to the downturn in both national and local economies. Regrettably, our grants are down, revenue garnered from our fundraising activities has flattened, and we are unsure that demand will be as strong for our upcoming 1142 Linden Lane Cannel Indiana 46033 Pone: (317 844 -7453 web: www.cidedance.org email: cidedance @yahoo.com 7 r events as it has been historically. Additionally, many of our performance items, including 1 stage props and costumes, are worn out and simply need to be replaced. To that end we are looking to the City of Carmel for assistance in arts funding and are asking that the City of Carmel consider a financial contribution of $23,000 as detailed in the following pages to allow CIDE to rejuvenate our assets and continue funding its operations and remain a vital part of Carmel's arts community as a premiere, classical ballet performance option for Carmel residents and development avenue for local Carmel youth interested in performing arts. We sincerely appreciate your consideration and eagerly await your response. To help you reach your decision, in the following pages are details regarding CIDE's Artistic Staff and Board of Directors, profiles of the artistic direction team, IRS non profit determination letter, calendar year financial overview, and examples of specific expenditures that are required to make our performances a success where we could use and would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you very much for your time and 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.
