Dear Dance Supporters,

As we approach the end of 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've shared this year. Your unwavering support has been vital in enabling us to create, inspire, and share the magic of dance with our community.

This year, thanks to your generosity, we achieved remarkable milestones:
  • Three New Works:
    • We premiered three original dance pieces: “A Veteran's Journey” in collaboration with composer Wendy Griffiths, “Bist Du Mir, Through The Panes,” and “Water.” A huge thank you to Erika Batdorf for her invaluable contributions.
  • National Outreach: Our company toured six cities across three states, bringing our performances to new communities.
  • Community Engagement: We performed over 21 times, reaching thousands and fostering a love for the arts.
  • Residencies and Collaborations: We were privileged to be in residence at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park in Tivoli, NY, and the Windhover Center for the Performing Arts in Rockport, MA.
  • Commissioned Works: We received generous gifts for two new works—“Joyful Offering,” from Peter Muldavin and Helene Krumholz, and a major sculptural commission called “Our Gate” from Marco Pali, a New York-based artist originally from Venezuela. Alison collaborated with Indie Space to create a site-specific piece inspired by this sculpture.
None of this would have been possible without you. As we look ahead to 2025, we aim to expand our programming, enrich our community's cultural landscape, and inspire the next generation of dancers. But we can't do it without your help.
This holiday season, we invite you to make a tax-deductible contribution to Alison Cook Beatty Dance. Your donation will directly impact our ability to:
  • Create new works that push the boundaries of modern dance.
  • Expand our outreach programs to engage more underserved communities.
  • Provide quality dance education and workshops for aspiring artists.
Every gift, no matter the size, strengthens our foundation and fuels our mission. All donations made before December 31st will be recognized in our programs for the upcoming season.

Join us in making a difference through dance. Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. Together, let’s step boldly into 2025!
