The BE BOLD afterschool program was initially developed under Misty Copelands direction with a diverse set of leaders from ballet, dance education, DEIA training, and child development in partnership with the NDI Collaborative for Teaching and Learning, the professional development center of the National Dance Institute. At the end of BE BOLDs first year, Misty Copeland and Sindy Folgar, BE BOLDs Program Director, recognized a need to include more ballet in the BE BOLD framework. They worked with MCF's current Advisory Council to update and expand the framework to include more ballet. They also extended the program to include 5-7-year-olds.BE BOLD served over 390 children in the Bronx and Harlem in 14 community-based organizations, the majority from districts where most children are of color and the child poverty rate is greater than 30%. BE BOLD is conducted in two 12-week semesters, with sessions meeting twice weekly for one hour per class. The program also offers a truncated program during the summer months, running from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the site. MCF also increased its number of teaching artists: BE BOLDs active teaching artist roster is now 43 (27 dance educators and 16 musicians), an increase of 150% from one year ago.During the Spring, Hunter College Professor of Education, Gess LeBlanc, Ph.D., co-founder of Hunters Urban Center for Assessment, Research, and Evaluation and a leading speaker and author on culturally responsive teaching, completed the Year 1 evaluation of the BE BOLD program and its teaching methodology. The evaluation confirmed that BE BOLD students demonstrated growth in the specific mindsets and skills MCF seeks to cultivate, which define the programs Portrait of a BE BOLD graduate. The results also verified the success of our efforts to make ballet more inclusive and welcoming.In response to these findings, BE BOLD grew to offer programs for younger children and to provide a more detailed class curriculum. This expansion significantly augments the BE BOLD framework, evolving it from a 29-page guide into a comprehensive 90-page resource. The expanded framework now emphasizes ballet technique. It provides ballet step progression, terminology, and components, thereby improving teaching artists grasp of lesson objectives and consistency in program delivery across sites. Its structure enables teaching artists to tailor lessons to meet their young and older students needs and interests.MCF established a partnership with the Manhattan School of Music, helping to bolster musics role in the BE BOLD program and enhance collaboration with BE BOLD musicians. This alliance ensures music education and exploration are key BE BOLD foundational components.In addition, MCF has added more male teaching artists to its roster to help increase the number of boys enrolled in BE BOLD. We now have 7 male teaching artists who teach dance in our classrooms. 752565 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 22 0 true 48 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false NY X X Organization 2128702350 475 Riverside Drive 456 New York NY 10115 X Caryn Campbell Executive Director 40.00 0.00 130077 0 44858 Misty Copeland President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gilda Squire Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Valentino Carlotti Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Fales-Hill Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Benis Reffkin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 130077 44858 1 false true false 0 1419920 1419920 Program fees 611600 55048 55048 55048 13648 13648 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1488616 55048 13648 X 0 0 0 0 177627 142101 17763 17763 0 261816 229796 16010 16010 0 19743 19047 348 348 11311 9711 800 800 0 4193 4193 11500 11500 0 0 0 356908 275858 57650 23400 0 12856 4584 6844 1428 0 0 47270 40624 3323 3323 6101 4205 1566 330 0 580 262 318 0 0 3546 3020 263 263 6657 5669 494 494 Production and event costs 17950 17950 Dues and subscriptions 5906 1489 4417 Postage and Shipping 170 170 0 944134 752565 122675 68894 315599 718305 178007 525000 500000 14114 0 0 0 0 1500 7389 12762 3546 9216 0 0 0 0 3529 842099 1430560 5000 34929 12910 5000 47839 X 242099 650221 595000 732500 837099 1382721 842099 1430560 544482 1140 X false true X true false X 1 852223 1419920 2272144 0 0 1 852223 1419920 2272144 1911078 361066 13648 13648 0 0 2285792 55048 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12762 3546 9216 9216 X 1488616 1488616 1488616 944134 944134 944134 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Management has evaluated all income tax positions and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that require disclosure in the financial statements. false false false false false false false false false Caryn Campbell Executive Director 130077 44858 174935 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is reviewed by the board of directors prior to filing.
