Progression Not Perfection
is our mission as a foundation.
We continue to support the youth of our community by providing education, scholarships and opportunities to participate in the performing arts. This builds character, physical fitness, self esteem and team work. CCDF is a non-profit organization and we fund raise all year to help fund performances.
Central Coast Dance Foundation Welcomes You
Make a Difference Today
Central Coast Dance Foundation knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Back in 2007, our Non-Profit Organization realized that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Central Coast Dance Foundation.
DreamWeaver
An artistic perception as clear as a painting to some, obscure or subtle to others, but whatever it reveals to you as an audience member it will leave a lasting impression, especially on the children who participate in it. The need for artistic expression is so important,expecially in today's society, we need dreamers today, this is where all really big ideas are being formed, people of vision, people of big dreams, this is what we need to give our children. Instead of cutting the arts in our educational system we should be adding them, the arts encourages creative thinking and alternate solutions to problems this is what's so badly needed in today's world. Our children need a creative outlet and by allowing them these creative endeavors we encourage those big ideas, thinking "outside of the box". Our world will be a much better place with these kind of visionaries after all look at John F. Kennedy, Ghandi, Martin Luther King and corporate visionaries such as Bill Gates.
AIM ANGELS
A specialized scholarship program facilitated by
Central Coast Dance Foundation
Students with special needs are “ANGELS” at Artistry in Motion. We recognize their unique contribution to our world and desire wholeheartedly to protect them from harm while empowering them to find joy and self-confidence through an education in the performing arts.
At Artistry in Motion, we are committed to a healthy learning environment for all students. We believe that exposure to the arts is critical in a child’s development and can be especially empowering for a child with special needs. At AIM, our teachers and students are expected to embrace a broad range of learning styles so that all students feel welcome and free to express their unique creativity as well as learn new methods.
While all children need patience as they develop their skills in attention, focus, communication, expression, and comprehension, it is our mission at AIM for students with special needs to feel especially safe. AIM encourages its entire staff to work directly with parents to constantly learn about each child’s unique challenges and rise to be the best teacher they can be for that child. One-on-one meetings are encouraged with parents to have a better understanding of the methods that are currently successful for that child, while considering new, creative possibilities through music and expression.
The Central Coast Dance Foundation proudly provides financial aid for students with special needs. Understanding that a healthy artistic education can be critical in that child’s development, we believe that they should not be denied such a crucial opportunity because of financial restraints. Parents and guardians of these ANGELS are encouraged to inquire and apply for the CCDF “AIM Angels” scholarship program at Artistry in Motion.
