Story
CLICK! The Army Dance Company has been running for 5+ years and has seen hundreds of dancers, young and old, experienced and inexperienced walk through our doors. We run weekly classes in Reading and London for a mix of ages and abilities. Our focus is on accelerating our dance family as not just dancers, but as people by sky-rocketing their confidence, pushing them to discover their full potential and surrounding each and every single person with support from not just me and my team, but ALL of our other members too. We have self funded every single project we have completed to date and in order to make this positive wave influence sustainable we have opened THE ARMY DANCE COMMUNITY CIC.
This NOT FOR PROFIT venture allows us to raise the funds to provide events, rehearsals, performance opportunities and more to include those from all walks of life, not just those who can afford it, on a regular basis and reduces the financial pressure that life changing hobbies such as dance can have on a household simply due to expense. We believe everyone should get the chance to shine and with this in mind we would be so grateful to receive any donation you’re able to afford to help our dancers thrive mentally, physically and emotionally through the art of dance and movement expression.
Specifically we are raising money for our next event on 27th October 2023 at Reading University. You are all welcome to come! Whether you choose to donate to the running of the event to allow us to make it an even better experience for our dancers and attendees, or buy a ticket - all money will be going towards the talent we are supporting and the TRICK OR TREAT dance show! See ticket link here: www.thearmydc.com/show - Come to our next event!
THE ARMY DC is more than just a dance company, it is a home. It’s a safe space to walk into weekly to forget about the world outside and learn to become a confident and resilient person who feels supported and loved by a group of people who are so passionate about what they do. We have created an environment where dancers grow, not only in skill but also as compassionate and supportive individuals.
Our mission is to foster the growth and development of talented individuals in the arts with the main focus on teenagers and young adults without excluding other age ranges.
We are dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive environment that nurtures their skills, enhances their fitness, and empowers their mindset and improves mental health.
Our core values revolve around the belief that every individual has the potential to shine, and by coming together as a team, we can create a vibrant and supportive community. Through dance and artistic expression, we aim to inspire creativity and self-confidence in our participants.
The community group will support teenagers to adults in deprived areas to stay off the streets and channel their emotions through a positive outlet.
Our commitment to the arts, fitness, mindset, and community connection drives us to make a positive impact on the lives of young artists, equipping them with the skills, wellbeing and confidence needed to flourish both on and off the stage. Together, we are The Army Dance Company CIC, dedicated to nurturing talent, building community, and inspiring the next generation of artists.
If the company makes any surplus, it will be reinvested into activities for the core group and adding additional training and rehearsals, costumes, and performance opportunities. The is also a potential to get a long-term base for the group to hold events and have training.
Our mission is huge but not impossible with sprinkles of help from as many people as possible. We’d like to say thank you. We appreciate you. And we hope to continue showing you the positive impact you have had on the Reading community, our young people and the overall health and happiness of those around us. We hope our positive energy ripples into your home through this movement.
Keep dancing, Team ARMY DC.
