Support: Your gift changes lives... it's that simple.
|
Dance is the medium, excellence is the expectation and the result is a lifetime of success.
Work hard. Always do your personal best. Never give up. We strive to reach children who need our programs the most. Bringing high-quality dance classes with live music directly into schools, our staff is committed to helping close the opportunity gap for student populations underserved in the arts. We teach that teamwork, tenacity, discipline and joyful effort can equal success—that hard work and an uncompromising standard of excellence result in a genuine sense of achievement and self-respect that can change the life of a child…any child. Take the Stage Programs are designed to: • Help children develop discipline, a personal standard of excellence, and a belief in themselves that will carry over to all aspects of their lives • Improve self-confidence and general behavior in and out of school • Positively impact student attendance, academic engagement and test scores • Promote good health through vigorous physical activity and lessons on food choice • Support healthy classroom environments through improved peer-to-peer and student-teacher relationships • Form friendships among children and adults from a wide variety of socio-economic and geographic backgrounds • Foster important connections and learning opportunities between students and leading community institutions • Inspire students to become a community of motivated, creative thinkers As a non-profit organization, Take the Stage and Owen/ Cox Dance Group rely upon community partnership and support to continue to bring our programming to students in Greater Kansas City. Federal, state and city governments; foundations, corporations and generous individuals all provide critical funding. There are several levels of giving, all of which help our students reach for the stars.
