DANCE FOR FOOD PROGRAM - THE ANNUAL DANCE FOR FOOD EVENTS, PRESENTED BY ARTISTS FOR A CAUSE (A4AC) BRING TOGETHER MANY OF FLORIDA'S AND MISSOURI'S FINEST CONTEMPORARY DANCERS TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE WHOSE ONLY ADMISSION FEE IS A BAG OF UNEXPIRED NONPERISHABLE GOODS. WITH THIS PROGRAM A4AC IS ABLE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN SEVERAL WAYS: (1) FOOD FOR THE NEEDY - APPROXIMATELY 6,000 POUNDS OF FOOD WERE COLLECTED IN TOTAL AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE NEEDY THROUGH VARIOUS PARTNERSHIPS IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND ST. LOUIS MISSOURI. (2) PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES - 20 PROFESSIONAL DANCE COMPANIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE, 150 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND 250 STUDENTS OF INDIVIDUAL DANCE COMPANIES PERFORMED, (3) A CULTURAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO VIEW PROFESSIONAL LEVEL DANCE FOR A NEGLIGIBLE COST. MANY OF THE ATTENDEES HAD NEVER WITNESS LIVE DANCE. THE A4AC DANCE FOR FOOD EVENT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE ARTS AS A CATALYST TO ADDRESS A CRITICAL COMMUNITY NEED. THE PROGRAM PRODUCES SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESULTS THAN COULD BE OBTAINED THROUGH A MORE TRADITIONAL FUNDRAISING EVENT. THE ORGANIZATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT THE ARTS AND DANCE CULTURE WITH PROFESSIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, WHILE ALSO RAISING MORE FOOD THAN THE PROGRAM BUDGET WOULD PURCHASE. IN ADDITION, THIS EVENT INCREASES THE COMMUNITY'S AWARENESS OF ART WHILE ALLOWING ARTISTS THE OPPORTUNITIES TO USE THEIR TALENTS TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD IN A NEW WAY.
