Gymnastics Program Receives Grant!

The Berkshire Dance Theatre Gymnastics Program has received a $5,000 grant from Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to fund the purchasing of new equipment for our newly established gymnastics program at our Adams studio.

Berkshire Dance Theatre, Inc. is a nonprofit organization serving Northern Berkshire and Southern Vermont with high quality dance and arts education.  Established in 1982, the organization has helped hundreds of children and families receive performing arts education, which many have used to pursue professional art careers.

The Berkshire Taconic grant will be used to help purchase the necessary equipment to establish both a recreational and competitive gymnastics program.  The new equipment will guarantee both safety, as well as the latest advanced technology, for our students.  It will help our Gymnastics Director, Amy Garner, create an environment for children, ages 2 through 18, where they gain strength, improve flexibly, and work in a team atmosphere.

Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation builds stronger communities and improves the quality of life for all residents of our region.  Each year, the foundation distributes over $7 million through grants and scholarships, helping thousands of donors achieve
their philanthropic goals and hundreds of nonprofits carry on their good work. Berkshire Taconic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity. www.berkshiretaconic.org
Berkshire Dance Theatre is also accepting donations to further fund the gymnastics program in their equipment needs.  For more information on Berkshire Dance Theatre or how you can support community efforts, please contact the Berkshire Dance Theatre office at 413.743.4645.
