2006,, GHDT was the only. company to represent, the. USA. at-the prestigious. I.1 Baltic-Ballet

soloists from The Netherlands, Spain, Israel, Croatia, Japan, Ukraine and Latvia. The company received

GHDT desires°tu become Carmel''s full =time• resident dance company= and= looks forward- to offering its
season° to patrons at- the-new arts -center .in_the future.
In addition to rehearsing daily in Carmel, the company maintains numerous Carmel connections. GHDT's

production of "The Nutcracker" that features a cast of over 100 dancers. From this number approximately
40% are residents of Carmel. T11ecompany a series of 9 concerts over three: weekends annually

Ey_ Hee.Hoo." from February 8` through the 24� Every summer GHDT o' ffers an intensive Summer Dance
Academy in Carmel. This workshop serves over 100 young dancers from age 8 through 18. Again, a large
number of these participants represent Carmel. The workshop includes professional instruction from GHDT
faculty as well as international guest artists. GHDT 11, a "pre- professional" company for dancers age 15 -18,
also rehearses weekly in Carmel. Carmel residents represent approximately 30% of. GHDT audiences
throughout the season.
GHDT is currently pursing a space to- open.- a: year =round academy of dance in Carmel, Indiana. The
company has long desired to have its own academy that would be affiliated with the professional company of
GHDT. This academy will offer world -class training in modern dance, ballet, pointe, jazz, Classical dance
of India, Scottish Highland dance, African dance, character dance, Flamenco and other dance related classes.
This would not only provide Carmel with a world -class training center for dance, but will ultimately provide
GHDT with additional income to assist in sustaining the company.

Sincerely,
Gregory Hancock
Artistic Director, GHDT
