Dear All,
Spring has come, new growth surrounds us, and DanceMN asks you to please help us reach our strategic goals!
We developed and released a new vision in 2021:
All are Connected to Dance in Minnesota.
This is such a significant statement that we want to set it as our core strategic goal: we want the people of Minnesota to feel connected to dance from their living rooms, the street, or on-stage. We aim to develop a stronger social-media presence. If you use Facebook or Instagram, follow us and tag us on your dance endeavors: @DanceMN_News
Why do we care so much? “We love dance!”
We’ve begun activities to support our vision statement within the community by participating in events such as Open Streets (Minneapolis) and the Cowles Center Resource Fair. In 2024, we released a survey to better understand our subscribers and held three engaging community conversations to help learn how we may better support our community. We hope to widen the reach of our audience and to find ways to connect with people who haven’t used our free and un-curated services!
To these ends, we turn to you to help DanceMN attain our strategic goals. Your contribution is not just financial aid, but a catalyst that helps transform our vision statement into results-oriented action. Your support is essential to our ability to continue to provide our services to you: GiveMN.org/DanceMN
We all do better together!
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
DanceMN’s Steering Committee
