Project Summary:*
Please provide us with a brief summary of your project.
Every year, our La Costa Canyon Maverick dance students put on a Spring Dance Production comprised of
dancers from multiple levels, grades, and abilities on our campus. At La Costa Canyon, we strongly believe in
furthering participation in the performing arts for our entire student population. We are proud that this
production features 175 students from both general education (students from our competitive dance team
and our dance physical education students), as well as our access students who participate in our special
education program.
Preparing for the production is a robust operation, with each group getting the experience of working with an
outside choreographer on their respective piece. The event provides exposure to the performance side of
dance as well as an opportunity to learn & grow from working in different genres and under professional
choreographers from the community. We also costume the pieces to make the event a true showcase of our
student’s talents and something that all participants are proud of!

Previous Project Success:
If your organization has completed a similar project, please provide details of the project and why it was
successful.
Our Dance program has put on a Spring Dance Production annually, beginning shortly after the school
opening in 1996. Our current dance teacher joined La Costa Canyon in the fall of 2020, where we adopted this
current format. In 2023 and 2024 we had over 125 students participate in the show and raised $3000
through ticket sales to support our dance program. We were able to provide an inclusive program that
targeted students with a wide range of interests and abilities. Audiences of over 300 patrons per performance
were able to view this show and provide positive feedback.
With this success in the past, we are looking forward to putting on another performance of this caliber, with
an even larger number of participants. Students were exposed to a variety of styles of dance, performance
experiences, and instructors, which helped create a better appreciation for the art of dance in these
participants.
Project Distinction:
What makes this project distinctive?
This project is distinctive because it allows for collaboration across not only all ages and grades but with our
special education access population as well. By exposing all groups to the performance side of the art of
dance, Anna Gravenkamp and the La Costa Canyon High School Foundation are providing them with an
experience that they would not otherwise have. In addition, by inviting in guest choreographers from the
community, we are further expanding their horizons and exposure to opportunities in the dance world. Our
advanced dance students are provided the opportunity to choreograph pieces, and then prepare their
Beth Crowder La Costa Canyon High School Foundation, Inc
Printed On: 21 March 2024
Fiscal Year 2024-25: Educational Institutions or
Affiliated Groups 6
classmates for the production, seeing the dances come full circle on stage and in front of an audience. The
combination of professional and student-choreographed pieces enhances the uniqueness of this production.
PProject Goals:
What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals?
Our goal for this program is to first and foremost provide a unique opportunity for our students where they
can all succeed, and feel the accomplishment of seeing their work and preparation come to fruition on stage
in front of an audience. We hope to build an appreciation for the arts, especially dance, for students and
patrons alike. We hope to increase the number of participants in our show, as well as audience members.
We will measure our goals, by the number of participants, looking for an increase from last year's number of
125. This means we are exposing more students to the art of dance, and a variety of dance styles. We would
also like to increase ticket sales, which in turn, accounts for an increase in audience size, and exposure to our
community.
Target Population:
Who is your target population and why? How will you reach them?
Our target population is our National Blue Ribbon School and the surrounding community. La Costa Canyon
High School is dedicated to providing each student a well-rounded education through exposure to all subject
areas. La Costa Canyon High School also provides a comprehensive interscholastic athletics program with 26
different varsity-level sports, earning numerous League, CIF, and Open Division Titles. In addition, students
can participate in nationally recognized programs to include speech and debate, theatrical/performing arts,
and the only marching band in the district, The Maverick Brigade.
Our program is part of this comprehensive approach targeting the students in our dance program, special
education program, and community. We will utilize the dance education program at La Costa Canyon, as well
as promote our program within the community through our La Costa Canyon Foundation and other
community events where we perform.
Project Partnerships:
If applicable, please provide names and brief descriptions of roles for any partners in this project. This would
include any organizations, artists or individuals involved in your project that are not employed or affiliated with the
applying organization.
In addition to work being done on campus by La Costa Canyon dance teacher/director/coach, Anna
Gravenkamp we are pleased to welcome guest choreographers from our community. We will be working with
guest artists from local studios including Joelle Logan, Courtney Barclay, Auti Kamal, Rachel Hanson, and
Diana Lim. Having these working professionals, in the field of dance train our students, will provide a truly
invaluable experience.
Our La Costa Canyon Dance program also coordinates with our La Costa Canyon Theatre and Music programs
for these projects.

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on
your organization?
The biggest challenge to our program is the return to productions after the pandemic. We haven't had as
many participants and our audiences haven't returned to pre-pandemic levels. With fewer participants, and
fewer patrons, we have had less funding to work with. In the past, we have run a much smaller show, with
fewer costumes and guest choreographers, meaning fewer opportunities for our students.
We are thrilled with the inclusion of our access students and dancers/performers from our special education
program. However, the inclusion of these students also creates a need for additional funding to provide
instructional aides to assist as well as accommodations to costuming, stage assistance, etc.
If this grant application is for a school-based project, please answer the following two questions:
State Standards Support:
How does your arts education project support the California State Content Standards for the Visual and Performing
Arts? *Please refer to the California State Board of Education website for reference.
California Arts Standards Artistic Processes and Anchor Standards (NCCAS 2014, 13)
This project hits each artistic process for the California State Content Standards and almost every Anchor
Standard within them. The dance production supports the 'Create' process by exposing students to the
creative process, both their own as well as that of a professional choreographer. They have the opportunity to
develop their artistic work and refine it in order to be ready for the stage. As students prepare and then
perform onstage, they will show mastery of the 'Performing' artistic process and the underlying Anchor
Standards. Within the revision and preparation process of working with a choreographer, students will
address the 'Responding' artistic process by interpreting and conveying meaning within their dance pieces.
They will evaluate their own work for the stage. Lastly, students will address 'Connecting' by using their prior
knowledge in the creative process of the dances. In addition, they will learn about the process of putting on a
production for the stage and all the pieces that go into making it a successful one.
State Standards Description:
Please cite the specific standard numbers, grade level(s) and descriptions as they pertain to your project. Describe
how the curriculum and instruction (if applicable) of the project aligns to each standard. *Please refer to the
California State Board of Education website for reference.
Standards for grades 9-12 as listed below. Some will be addressed through the creative process as we prepare
for the production and others during the actual performance.
Creating Anchor Standards Met:
1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. 2. Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
3. Refine and complete artistic work.
Performing Anchor Standards Met:
