A Message From Our Artistic Director Dear Friends, Welcome to National Dance Institute’s 45th Anniversary Gala. We are thrilled to be sharing this special milestone with you. In preparing for tonight’s celebration, a beautiful slideshow of NDI moments has been playing in my head—the people, the performances, and the transformations mark the years like stars in a brilliant NDI constellation...each memory and achievement accompanied by overwhelming gratitude. NDI’s success and the impact it has made in delivering the best in arts education did not happen on its own. A collective of extraordinary individuals ensured that NDI was poised to arrive at this very day—strong, determined, and ever-faithful to our mission. First among them is our beloved founder, Jacques d’Amboise, the visionary who dazzles us with his sheer brilliance, his incomparable talent, and his big, kind, generous heart. And none of what we achieve would be possible without our superb staff, our dynamic and dedicated board of directors, and all of you, our loyal friends and supporters. Your unwavering commitment to our children is heart-lifting and appreciated beyond measure. This past year has marked one of the most difficult in our history. But NDI forged forward undeterred, ever more attuned to the social, emotional, and physical needs of the children we serve, and to the role we play in making the world a more just and humane place in which to live. We vow to always do more. As we look to the next 45 years, I thank you for being by our side, for believing that the arts are vital to a child’s education, and for giving generations of young learners the skills and opportunities that will help them choreograph a future filled with creativity, empathy, and possibilities. With enduring gratitude, Ellen Weinstein Artistic Director 6
