DanceFlurry Youth Outreach!
One of our goals as an organization is to act as a catalyst for individuals and groups who want to develop traditional music and dance events in our region. To that end, we can put our organizational support behind your idea to promote our common goals.
Have an idea for an event that brings families, youth (up through college age), or adults with disabilities in contact with traditional music or dance? Apply for a DF-YO! Grant! Please note that funding is available only for events in the Greater Capital Region. The DanceFlurry Organization offers stipends of up to $500 to support traditional music and dance events within our greater community. Grant funding is typically used to support performer fees, and is paid directly to performers.
NEW: There are now four application deadlines: January 1, April 1, July1, and October 1
Applications received after the deadline will be reviewed for the next quarter.
For programs which will be open to the general public, please submit your application at least 3 months prior to the date of the event, to allow time for evaluation of your request and, if funded, provide enough time to publicize the event.
For events offered within a closed community, such as a school or private program, the Program Committee needs a minimum of 6 weeks to consider your request. Additional lead time allows the committee to provide fuller consideration of the request, as well as recommendations or assistance in planning and promoting. All grantees will be asked to acknowledge DFO sponsorship in their publicity and at the event, and when appropriate to permit distribution of flyers or other DFO outreach materials to attendees.
Note: If you have an idea for an event that brings together adults and/or community, please see the section on Community grants.
Grants up to $500 are available. Examples of events include:
- teaching dance in physical education classes
- hosting a Family dance or concert night with a live band
- teaching participants how to play traditional music.
Email:YouthOutreach@danceflurry.org if you need suggestions to get started or help finding a band or instructor.
