Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
THE MISSION OF RSA OF DANCE & PERFORMING ARTS IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION, MENTORSHIP, AND EXPERIENCES TO UNDERSERVED YOUTH AGES 3 AND UP. SOME EXPERIENCES INCLUDE PROVIDING AUTHENTIC PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES, PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS, LEADERSHIP, AND ACADEMIC HIGHLIGHTS ALONG WITH MENTORSHIP FROM COLLEGE ALUMNI AND PROFESSIONALS IN THEIR FIELDS. WE AIM TO EXPOSE STUDENTS TO THE ART OF DANCE, BUILD CONFIDENCE, AND PROVIDE VARIOUS OPPORTUNITIES AND PLATFORMS FOR STUDENTS TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
DURING THE 2023 PROGRAM YEAR WE SERVICED OVER 375 STUDENTS THROUGH OUR FACILITATED PROGRAMS BOTH ON SITE AND AT PARTNERING LOCATIONS. WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE IS THAT THERE IS NO OTHER FULL SERVICE FINE ARTS PROGRAMMING WITHIN A 10-MILE RADIUS THAT OFFERS QUALITY INSTRUCTION AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FROM DANCE PROFESSIONALS WITH EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE CAREERS TO UNDERSERVED YOUTH. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COLLABORATED WITH LOCAL ARTS ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS DANCE AFRIKANA, PASSION WITH PURPOSE, NIA'S DAUGHTER, YOUNG AUDIENCES, HISD, HOUSTON ARTS CONNECT, THE CITY OF HOUSTON, HARRIS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND MORE TO CREATE ENGAGING ARTISTIC PROGRAMMING FOR THE PUBLIC. RSA IS BRIDGING THE GAP FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY FINE ARTS TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES. WE ARE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING FREE PROGRAMING AND SUBSIDIZED TUITION RATES. THE PROBLEM IN OUR COMMUNITY IS THAT MOST OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN OUR SERVICE AREA DO NOT OFFER FINE ARTS TRAINING. FINE ARTS ARE OFTEN THE FIRST BUDGET CUT TO OCCUR IN SCHOOLS, WHICH MEANS STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN LOWER INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE ZONED TO SCHOOLS WITHOUT A THRIVING FINE ARTS PROGRAM. WITHOUT THIS CREATIVE OUTLET, MANY YOUTH ARE LEFT HOPELESS AND IN DESPAIR WHICH COMBINED WITH SYSTEMIC OPPRESSION MAKE THEM VULNERABLE TO THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. RSA IS THRILLED TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE LED TO UNIQUE EXPERIENCES, COLLEGE TOURS, SCHOLARSHIPS AND MORE. THE COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS ARE HIGHLIGHTED BY OUR PARTNERS IN DISTRICT K TO SPOTLIGHT THE AMAZING WORK THAT WE ARE DOING THROUGH OUR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
