Often referred to as a “melting pot”, it’s not surprising that in New York City, these different ethnicities and cultures are beginning to fuse. While this concept of fusion is not new to the culinary world, it is entirely new to the entertainment world and Reaction Dance Company NYC intends to fill that gap. We will bring ethnically diverse entertainment into the American marketplace by offering customized dance performances in the combined styles of Latin, Bollywood, Hip-hop, and Contemporary for weddings, parties, corporate events, and private instruction. Already, Omicon Entertainment has booked Reaction for their Halloween party at Amazura Concert Hall with an additional offer to work their future events. Reaction intends to reach future clientele through a promotional plan involving the creation of dance videos to gain attention on social media outlets, and proactive networking in the entertainment and event-planning world. In order to reach the next level and fully launch the business, Reaction requires start-up funds that they hope to acquire from the Ted Levine Grant. The $7,500 grant will cover the initial costs of starting up the business, including LLC formation, paying for rehearsal space, professional filming and editing of dance videos, photoshoots for website and advertising materials, the creation and execution of a multi-channel marketing plan, and the maintenance of our website and social media. This investment would be in the capable hands of Juliette Nieves (Founder/CEO, Artistic Director), and Julia Sokolyansky (CMO, Co-Artistic Director), whose dance experience totals 33 years combined, and who each individually have extensive experience in business through employment as well as undergraduate coursework. Together, they have the connections to hire some of the best dancers in New York City, the skills to create professional and highly-artistic dance entertainment individually catered to our clientele, and the business savvy and the network to successfully land jobs and run the business seamlessly.
