Napa Regional Dance Foundation
Enriching Napa Valley youth and the community through dance education, performance, and artistic collaboration.
Napa Regional Dance Foundation (NRDF) was formed in 2014 as a non-profit partner with Napa Regional Dance Company (NRDC) with the goal of expanding performance opportunities for young dancers in Napa County. We envision traditional partnerships, such as live musical accompaniment of dance performances, as well as creative artistic pairings with other performing arts groups. To that end, the Foundation supports NRDC financially to ensure that its dancers are able to stage performances annually (particularly the spring showcase and the annual holiday production of The Nutcracker) to the delight of the Napa Valley community.
Like so many businesses, Napa Regional Dance Company has been deeply impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. When the first lockdown occurred in March of 2020 and continued through the spring, it forced the cancellation of NRDC’s 2020 spring showcase in May. Apart from being a deep heartbreak to the dozens of dancers who had prepared for this performance for nearly a year, NRDC was unable to collect revenue from ticket sales for this event, which is a key source of our funding. The other main revenue stream is our annual production of The Nutcracker, which was slated to celebrate its 20th anniversary here in the Napa Valley this past December at the Lincoln Theater. Unfortunately, the continued effects of the pandemic and restrictions on gatherings in the state made it impossible for us to stage the performance. This is a great disappointment to all of our dancers (especially our senior soloists, who have trained for years for these roles), and it also puts the studio's survival in jeopardy.
In light of the evaporation of our revenue and the crippling financial effects of the pandemic, Napa Regional Dance Company's survival depends on your support. We must raise $75,000 to cover our operating costs; provide scholarships to our talented dancers whose parents have experienced economic hardship; and to be able to fund the production of The Nutcracker in 2021 with Symphony Napa Valley. This studio and its annual performances have been such a gift to the Napa Valley community for three decades, and we humbly ask for your support. Your tax-deductible gift will allow us to continue our work as we dance through difficulty and persevere to ensure that Napa Regional Dance Company endures to provide dance instruction and cherished performances in the Valley for decades to come.
