With love on behalf of our founder Iris Cloud... Let the JOY of this season surround you and yours! May our Savior cause you to DANCE in celebration and victory throughout the New Year!

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER... Memories are moments in time that are captured in our hearts and minds. As I reflect over many years of developing talents that God has given me and and nurturing the talents He has placed in others, there are memories and moments that make it all worth while. Recently many former students of the Dance Theater of Harlem reunited and gathered to honor me. My heart was lifted in ways I had not experienced before. So much love, so many fulfilled dream...s, so many extensions of kindness. "The most wonderful time of the year" has become even more special because of this humbling experience this year. Beyond the glorious expression and artistry of dance, there are deposits of grace and blessing that we have experienced together: learning to trust, growing into our places in society, building friendships, fulfilling promises and serving God. My life is forever marked by DTH and, in like manner, by Dance for Joy. The relationships, the inspiration, the joy of the Lord and God Himself is our reward. Wherever we are on our journey together, we are forever together, and I am so thankful for the privilege of this occasion where I can simply look back at each of you and say... THANK YOU! God bless your holiday season and grant us all the best New Year we've ever had. One final word... PRAY! Much love always, Iris Cloud Pictured: Ms. Cloud with Waverly at DTH in 1987.

From Iris Cloud and all of us at DANCE for JOY with love and prayers for all the brilliant women in our lives!

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THIS PHOTO? An Urgent Message from our Founder... The sad reality is that unless we hear from everyone reading this, what will be left of almost 25 years of one-of-a-kind arts instruction is... Nothing!... We live with the daily pressures of keeping a world class dance education ministry alive in the heart of New York City. Things have been tight before but never has the reality of becoming "nothing" fast been so real. We are all hurting in one way or another and the last thing I want to do is apply pressure on our wonderful community of artists and patrons... brothers and sisters all. Yet I would be remiss if I didn't let you know that if you do "nothing" now our future hangs in the balance. So many kids have counted on us -- are counting on us -- and hopefully will count on us in the future. Please join with me -- no gift is too large or too small! I remain in much prayer, holding on to faith, hope and especially love (God's love and yours!) that our finest days are ahead of us, and not behind us. "For with God NOTHING shall be impossible." Luke 1:37 Thank you in advance, Iris Cloud Founder & Artistic Director [email protected] **DONATE SECURELY AT** http://bit.ly/giveforjoy
