National Dance Institute-NM’s capital campaign proves “seeing is believing.”

By Margaret Battistelli Gardner

Sometimes, seeing means believing. Other times, seeing means writing. Writing checks, that is.

Such was the case for donors who rallied recently to contribute more than $7 million to a capital and endowment campaign for The National Dance Institute-New Mexico in Santa Fe.

The NDI program introduces children in New Mexico’s public elementary schools to the magic of dance and, in the process, nurtures their self-esteem and teaches the value of diligence and team work.
