Dear Nordhoff Dance Supporters, 

We are looking forward to year 2 of the combined Nordhoff High School and Junior High School Dance program! 

The Nordhoff Dance program has almost doubled in size since the consolidation of the middle school with the high school and we are set to welcome close to 100 student dancers in late August. Over 10% of the school population will be dance students again this year. 

Given our commitment to equity to ensure participation in dance program activities is financially accessible to all students, we need your help. Dance wear, shoes, performance wardrobe, field trips, master classes, and guest artist residencies enhance the student dancer experience. We need your help to make this year the best that it can be!

Special this year: we welcome New York City dance legends Sue Samuels and Kelly Carrol in a curated two-week residency that will culminate in a once-in-a-lifetime show A Night of Jazz Dance slated for Saturday, September 14 at Matilija Auditorium. We could not make this event happen without support from the Rotary Club of Ojai and the Ojai Unified School District. We hope you will join us!  

We know the value of dance in opening students up to become their best selves through building their confidence, sense of self, and connection to our dance community and school. 

We respectfully ask for your support in whatever amount you can give - a one-time gift or an ongoing donation is welcomed. 

This is a chance to contribute meaningfully to helping our school, program and dancers through this exciting year ahead. Please donate today.  

Thank you!

Kim Hoj and Gianna Burright, Nordhoff Dance Program Teachers
