Overview

Mission

Instructional Performance of Dance

What it reported doing in 2011

Provision of local touring dance performances - including "The Nutcracker", Company wide and School based performances. The general public is benefited.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
