Wheeling Orchesis prides itself on sustaining a program open to all students no matter their previous experience or finances. The majority of our dancers do not have the means to study outside of Wheeling or participate in external workshops or master classes, so providing similar opportunities is an important part of their personal and creative growth.
This year our guest artists are J'Sun Howard, Taylor Mitchell, Lizzie Mackenzie, and Marc Marcaranas. In addition we will be providing outreach programming at two junior highs and attending the bi-annual Regional HS Dance Festival in Madison, Wi March 15-18, 2019.
Each of these experiences comes with a financial cost. (Ex: Bus rental for one field trip is almost $375). Our only fundraising at this point is ticket sales and our Children's Workshop. Instead of selling product, we are soliciting direct donations instead (think of it as just donating the "profit" from product sales without having to buy anything).
Any and all help is appreciated.
I'm happy to donate and it's a pleasure to work with our Orchesis program! Have fun dancers!
You will remember fondly your memories as a dancer in Orchesis the rest of your life. Enjoy it!
Barbara and Andrew Perler support our granddaughter in this good cause.
Because I know this is an excellent program for the young people involved.
I support Diane Rawlinson ‘s dance program! She is an amazing teacher!
