FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD<br />
It is with great joy that we present to you our strong, exciting<br />
17th season: RECLAIM. Last season showcased our tenacity<br />
and ability to thrive in challenging circumstances. This season<br />
exemplifies renewal in our strength and spirit as a company!<br />
We are propelling forward into a post-COVID era head first,<br />
working to refresh our In-Studio Series, revitalize our studio<br />
offerings, and reclaim the stage with both in-person and<br />
virtual viewing options for performances that will amaze<br />
our audiences.<br />
YOU, our patrons, donors, volunteers, and supporters, make this work possible.<br />
We are in awe of your commitment over the past 17 years, so thank you. Your<br />
continued support has been the defining factor in helping us become the robust<br />
company we are today.<br />
Because of you, our 4 1/2 year-old studio is bustling with activity and we are proud<br />
to offer more classes and workshops than ever before. Weekly it overflows with<br />
company rehearsals, master classes, and dance intensives, on top of ongoing<br />
workshops and classes ranging from beginning to advanced Contemporary dance,<br />
Jazz, Afro-Modern, Improvisation, Conditioning, and Tap. Our studio also houses<br />
our training ensemble for aspiring dancers (SCDE), and our In-Studio Series, which<br />
enables us to nurture, grow, and present various local artists through an incubation<br />
platform. All of this is a testament to the energy and vision that contemporary<br />
dance cultivates.<br />
Now, our dancers are rejuvenated and ready to perform with more passion and vigor<br />
than ever before. By being so committed to this passion, you are helping us reclaim<br />
the heart of SCD. Seeing you at our events with your encouragement and energy,<br />
is truly what sustains us and enables us to flourish and to expand our reach beyond<br />
our community.<br />
We send a special thanks to our inspirational Artistic Director, Leymis Bolaños<br />
Wilmott, as well as both our company dancers and administrative team, who pour<br />
their heart and soul into Sarasota Contemporary Dance.<br />
And with deep gratitude, we thank YOU, because every one of you helps make<br />
Sarasota Contemporary Dance possible.<br />
Dan Barzel, President<br />
