I think this is a good application. However, from an organization I consider to be one of the great dance companies in Florida (if not the nation), I expected more. Glaring errors like putting this season's timeline in a grant application for next season put panelists in an awkward spot to balance your stunning rep, stellar dancers, and international reputation with sub par grant writing. |

Congrats on 30 years. It is clear that you have a winning formula for success in serving your area with performance and education quality in Ballet. Management, funding, Accessibility - all quite strong in this application. My creative challenge to all ballet companies is to continue to uphold the integrity of the traditional artform while finding innovative ways to introduce new audiences to ballet (How do we keep the classics relevant to a wifi generation? ) As the traditional Opera, Ballet and symphony community decreases - how are we looking forward to the future generations of the craft?
I think it is fine to include the numbers served in your additional impact area in your actual number served. One of my questions was going to be (as compared to other application) how you could work on increasing audience served - but its clear that you are doing this here and also not having a facility makes the circumstance unique. Is there a facility in the near future? Your operating income seems to be in a healthy position to support it. (I'm sure there are many factors involved) I am curious on "run-out" - I haven't heard the term, does this mean out of state tours? Or is this in regards to being in a facility?
