We conducted our first flock at Bernard West Pine Nursing Home last weekend. You can't see inside the windows well, but we had a large audience of residents enjoying our performance on the lawn. Check our YouTube page for the recap! This was an incredibly rewarding experience to bring joy to people who are the most isolated, not only this time of year, but more so because of COVID.
With only THREE days remaining and $3,000 left to raise, we hope you will consider sharing our fundraising link with your network. Please let your friends and family know why you support CKDC and remind them that every donation counts to get us to our overall goal of performing for the patients at St. Louis Children's Hospital. The link to our campaign is in the YouTube Video or you can copy/paste .
CKDC is a 501(c)3 charitable corporation that offers a wide variety of dance classes to the public for every age and every technical level. It's never too late or too early to learn how to dance. We offer a flexible schedule that fits into yours. CKDC believes that dance is a universal language that connects us all. Movement is fundamental to the development of personal well being and serves as an authentic outlet for creativity and expression. We commit ourselves to providing accessible outlets for our community to engage in movement arts, and to maintain a diverse environment that honors equality, equity and compassion. For more information about our adult or youth dance programs, visit our Education page.
Our mission is to make dance accessible to all and expose the healing art of dance to our communities.
Our vision is to use our unlimited passion for movement to build a diverse and welcoming community rooted in wellness and equity.
CKDC is an arts community that reflects the diverse identities of the residents of St. Louis and its surrounding region. We demonstrate and practice a commitment to racial and cultural equity through the dance styles we offer, by fusing different dance styles into our works, and by centering diversity in hiring teaching artists and company members. We are committed to using dance to incubate a compassionate shared experience with creative practices that center and celebrate diverse cultures, and to make classes and performances accessible to those who are marginalized by systemic economic oppression and neglect.
