Welcome to today’s performance and thank you for joining us. This marks a special and important moment in NDI New Mexico’s history: the celebration of our 25th anniversary. Since 1994, NDI New Mexico has been a committed community partner and ally to children to improve their health, achievement, and success.
NDI New Mexico has come a long way in the past 25 years. We have trained teachers, developed and expanded program curriculum, built facilities dedicated to training and performances, evaluated student impact, and received recognition for achievement and excellence. In that time, we have also reached communities across the state and served over 110,000 children with programs that have made a direct and quantifiable impact on their lives.
For 25 years, NDI New Mexico has been dedicated to our mission and core values. We know that the arts have a unique power to engage and motivate children and we are guided by our belief in children as well as our commitment to social responsibility, excellence, sustainability, and financial integrity.
As part of our celebration, NDI New Mexico is planning the next 25 years to reach the next generation of children. We are focused on organizational stability, maintaining the high-quality programs and impacts for which we have become justifiably known, and developing the partnerships to support sustaining and expanding the breadth and depth of services aligned with community priorities.
We are proud of our 25 years of accomplishments and could not have achieved them without the support of our donors, public school partners, volunteers, government allies, board members, staff, and families. We look forward to your continued partnership in helping NDI New Mexico and our communities grow and thrive together.
Today, we are celebrating our past, present, and future. And now, on with the show!

Catherine Oppenheimer is creative, inspiring, and in every sense of the word, a philanthropist – a person who donates her time, experience, skills, financial support, and talent to help create a better world.
From her first days in New Mexico back in 1992, Catherine saw the huge need for the arts in our rural and urban communities. As she traveled the state and fell in love with its people, she saw poverty and geographic isolation, but also deep cultural pockets where parents, schools, and communities were determined to provide the best possible outcomes for their children. She wanted to help and drew from her experience as a professional dancer, choreographer and artist.
As Founding Artistic Director of NDI New Mexico, Catherine dreamed of bringing dance, music, and the joy of hard work into the everyday lives of children throughout our state. From the outset, her teaching focused on a strict demand for excellence with a nurturing style that included humor and games. To address the ever-increasing requests for programming, Catherine developed Teaching Excellence®, a codified manual for aspiring NDI instructors, and a companion two-week Teaching Excellence® workshop intensive where dancers from all over the country can learn the NDI pedagogy first hand from master teachers. She also developed the administrative sophistication, community partnerships and financial support that became NDI New
Mexico’s foundation for the next 25 years of accomplishments. Catherine’s leadership and guidance have cultivated an organizational culture based upon the principal of always striving for excellence.
Catherine’s love and empathy for children is surpassed only by her desire to offer them exciting and authentic arts programs that enrich their lives and challenge them to be their best. She knows that the arts have the unique power to engage and motivate children, and she has dedicated her life to providing that experience for the children of New Mexico. In 2007, Catherine expanded her arts education vision and co-founded New Mexico School for the Arts, the only four-year, statewide public high school for aspiring young artists. Under Catherine’s leadership, NDI New Mexico has received the Governor’s Arts Award, the Santa Fe Community Foundation Pinon Award, and the President’s Coming Up Taller Award.
It is with great gratitude, respect, and admiration that we honor Catherine on our 25th Anniversary. Thank you, Catherine for the hard work, the inspiration, and for creating a legacy of achievement and health for the children of New Mexico!
Sometimes the most wonderful experiences come unexpectedly.
You don’t know it at the time, but a brief encounter can be the beginning of a magical journey. That is what happened one important morning 29 years ago as Leslie Carpenter, Principal of Acequia Madre Elementary was sitting in her small office. A parent stuck her head in the door and asked if she could introduce Jacques d’Amboise. Pat French had been driving Jacques around and showing him property when he spotted Acequia Madre and asked to stop. That momentous day she not only introduced Jacques to Principal Carpenter, but also to the children of Acequia Madre, Santa Fe and New Mexico.
In no time, Jacques had the entire school dancing, singing, making costumes, and painting a huge backdrop mural on the back of the school. Jacques had the entire student body of Acequia Madre, most of the teachers, several classes of students from neighboring Alvord Elementary and their teachers all performing a magical version of an original show called Fat City. On the blacktop behind the school, rented ancient metal bleachers were set up for children from all over town who were bused in to see the first ever NDI production in Santa Fe.
Jacques, with help from former dancer and community philanthropist Val Diker, raised money from interested donors to bring NDI programs to more schools and communities in New Mexico. Over the next few years, Jacques and his team of visiting instructors, including Catherine Oppenheimer, conducted several 1- to 5-week residency programs in Silver City, and at Salazar and Larragoite Elementary Schools in Santa Fe. When Catherine decided to move in Santa Fe, Jacques and Val recognized the opportunity to create a new, locally based NDI organization with Catherine as the Artistic Director.
Twenty-five years ago, in 1994, Co-Founder Jacques d'Amboise, Founding Board Chair Valerie Diker, and Founding Artistic Director Catherine Oppenheimer, incorporated NDI New Mexico as a separate and distinct nonprofit organization and initiated the first yearround in-school programs in Santa Fe.
Thanks to this trio of visionaries and everyone who helped during those first days and years, the program has flourished and grown in urban, rural, and Native American communities throughout the state.
CATHERINE OPPENHEIMER
Founding Artistic Director
“I saw my first NDI performance at Madison Square Garden in 1989. I was moved to tears and knew the program had the power to change lives. In fact, it transformed my own life. What a gift for all involved!”
JACQUES D'AMBOISE Co- Founder NDI New Mexico
"It is customary for royalty to wear a crown, and the tiara of NDI New Mexico is one of the most beautiful and glowing. My congratulations to all involved, especially Catherine Oppenheimer and Russell Baker –pathfinders in the past, and guides for the future."
- Your Jacques
VALERIE T. DIKER Founding Board Chair
“As Founding Board Chair, it was my dream that those who followed me would care as much as I did when I used to say ‘we don’t just want your support, we want your heart – we want you to understand all that NDI New Mexico does to change the lives of tens of thousands of underserved children in this state.’ and indeed, that is what has happened.”
REPRESENTATIVE BEN RAY
LUJÁN (D-NM)
U.S.
House Assistant Speaker
"I thank NDI New Mexico for their commitment to New Mexico's children. For 25 years now, NDI New Mexico has enriched the lives of thousands of students while helping them succeed in the classroom. Their efforts have helped our children live fuller and healthier lives."
RUSSELL BAKER NDI New Mexico Executive Director
JESSE MARTINEZ
NDI New Mexico Alumnus
“From the first day at Gonzales Elementary during NDI’s Teaching Excellence workshop with Catherine teaching, Bert at the piano, and all the children dancing, I knew this was where I belonged. I thought that I would be expected to bring my very best to NDI because that is what everyone else was doing. And that’s what we teach children to do – bring your best to life.”
"NDI New Mexico gave me the passion to always reach beyond my limits and explore the possibilities beyond my fingertips. Here’s to the music, friends, and families that NDI brings together. And here’s to the dance for giving all a voice in the spotlight for many more years to come! Happy 25th anniversary NDI!"
“With gratitude to Catherine, Jacques, Val, and the huge supporting cast of patrons and participants who have made a dream come true for so many young dancers. It all started with a drive in a car with Jacques and a visit to Acequia Madre school.”
U.S. SENATOR TOM UDALL & JILL COOPER
"One need only attend an NDI performance to understand the importance of this organization to New Mexico. The combination of arts in education, social and emotional development, multi-culture influence, and the opportunity to learn about excellence, is the very best we can do for our kids."
JOSH GONZALES
Alumnus,
Firefighter
"Having gone full circle from being a dancer in the program at Kearney Elementary in 2004 to volunteering as a firefighter to dance in the shows, I now get to encourage the values I learned from NDI New Mexico in the young people I dance with today."
“NDI New Mexico’s programs enrich our state by teaching our children the most important core values through dance. A sincere and heartfelt 'thanks' to all the NDI staff, board, and volunteers for the important role they play in developing the next generation of New Mexico’s leaders. Here’s looking forward to another 25 great years.”
DR. VERONICA GARCIA Superintendent, Santa Fe Public Schools
"NDI continues to be a shining star, opening doors of opportunity for students and broadening their horizons. The impact of NDI is immeasurable and priceless."
GARRETT THORNBURG
NDI New Mexico Emeritus Board, Thornburg Foundation Chairman of the Board
“The essence of the NDI New Mexico program always came from watching children in a fourth-grade class with their first attempt to learn a dance movement of 8 beats and then add on another movement of 8 beats. They would work so hard to master those first steps. Through that process, they learned that success will come if they Work Hard, Do Your Best, Never Give Up and Be Healthy“
CHRISTY SIGMON
Principal, Janet Kahn School of Integrated Arts, ABQ
“NDI has provided an experience for my students that they will never forget. They have learned teamwork, cooperation, and a belief in themselves. They get to witness firsthand the sound of applause, cheers, and celebration that is directed towards their accomplishment.”
“As the lights dim, the curtains open, and the children appear on stage, the theater is filled with their parents’ pride and excitement. That joy is what brings tears to my eyes at the beginning of every performance.”
HUGO PIZANO
NDI New Mexico Alumnus
“NDI New Mexico opened my heart to an endless love for dance; I followed my heart all the way to Julliard School. Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary. May you continue to inspire thousands of children for many years to come.”
Principal, Chaparral Elementary
“NDI New Mexico is fun and exposes students to live music and choreography. The yearlong lessons and performances assist students in lifelong learning habits of Do Your Best, Work Hard, Never Give Up, and Be Healthy. NDI instructors encourage and guide students in rigorous physical activity that enhances gross motor skills, which in turn enhances growth in their academic skills.”
“NDI-New Mexico helped me to gain confidence in my own ability to learn. Learning and expressing myself through movement, connected me to the world in a way that sitting in a classroom had not done up to that point. The teachers, musicians, and peers I grew to love also showed me the importance of community. My time there has been one of the greatest blessings in my life and I am so grateful for it.”
County Commissioner
"NDI has made a remarkable commitment to enriching the lives of Bernalillo County's children's through inspiring, world- class dance instruction. Our children learn not just how to dance, but also life-long lessons about the rewards of giving 100% effort to everything they do."
EDWARD LUJAN
NDI New Mexico Emeritus Board Member
“NDI New Mexico saw the need and had the courage and commitment to develop a statewide program that has a reach into underserved communities, big and small. The teaching methodology challenges young people to live up to the Core Four: Work Hard, Do Your Best, Never Give Up, and Be Healthy.”
ROBIN & MEADE MARTIN
10 Year Donors
“When people smile from deep within themselves because of the true joy they are feeling, it is contagious. Years ago at the Lensic Theater, we were overcome by the staccato of joyful smiles that the NDI dancers flashed as they made their flying leaps across center stage. Each dancer was an individual human being with limitless potential, sharing sincere joy in the radiant lights. A glance at the faces of friends and family affirmed our own happiness. The smiles of the children shine a bright light into the shadows that can fall on all of us. It is truly humbling to help support NDI.”
LIZ SALGANEK
NDI
New Mexico
Artistic Director
“The first time I saw an NDI New Mexico performance, I cried tears of joy. It filled my heart to see so many children held up for their friends and family to admire and applaud, each child being given the opportunity and the inspiration to work hard, work joyfully, and work together!”
ED GORMAN
4th-Grade Teacher, El Camino Real Academy
“NDI New Mexico holds students to a standard of excellence that helps every student to grow as they work with their team to reach their goals. The End of Year shows never disappoint! Thank you, NDI New Mexico for all you do!”
ANN REINKING Actress, Dancer, Choreographer
“NDI New Mexico is a vital program for not only our youth but the entire community! I see kids thriving every afternoon filled with the purpose and self-esteem that comes from dedication to a discipline. In this case the discipline is dance. To see the inspiration on their faces fills MY heart with purpose. I feel blessed to know these kids! It’s a privilege to work with them!”
MIKE CHAVEZ
Alumnus from first NDI program in 1990, NDI parent
"I did NDI with Jacques d'Amboise in 1990. It is amazing that now my own kids get to be a part of it. NDI New Mexico teaches children about hard work and respect - things that make a good responsible adult."
it works! for everyone
Twenty-five years and more than 110,000 children later, NDI New Mexico’s mission of teaching children excellence is still going strong.
From the pedagogy to the performances, the dancers to the donors, the principals to the parents, the NDI experience works for everyone it touches. Dancers learn the joy that comes from working hard as a team to reach a goal. Parents see the commitment and dedication their children develop throughout the year as they prepare for their culminating performances. Supporters appreciate that their funding reaches thousands of children in rural and urban communities across the state.
Principals and classroom teachers value the youth development lessons embedded into NDI classes and performances and see the impact it has on their students’ focus and concentration. NDI New Mexico’s curriculum motivates children,
teaching artists, classroom teachers, families, supporters, and entire communities to enthusiastically come together for the shared purpose of changing children’s lives.
Dr. Barbara Ryan, Principal, Pecos Elementary, Roswell says, NDI New Mexico has been a key coordinating partner in providing innovative educational opportunities to children in our school. Their remarkable in-school programs engage students at a young age in the pursuit of physical well-being self-discipline, focus and excellence, and the attitude that the successful person never quits. These attitudes and behaviors can lead to new achievements in school for children who may have known little classroom success.
NDI New Mexico’s Core Four message for achieving excellence – Work Hard, Do Your Best, Never Give Up, Be Healthy – teaches children a powerful work ethic that sticks with them for a lifetime. Children learn that hard work can be fun and rewarding, and that never giving up is a path to success beyond their dance class and into their future. They learn to see obstacles as challenges, not dead ends, and that striving to be healthy feeds your body, mind, and spirit. Dancers develop a belief in themselves that is rooted in self-confidence and embrace the message that they can accomplish anything they put their minds to.
Matthew Ortiz, Alumnus, Santa Fe says,
While I was improving in dance, something else happened. In third grade, I was a struggling reader and student, but by fifth grade, I was doing really well in school. NDI New Mexico had taught me how to learn – how to work hard, focus, and do my personal best. I learned how to set and achieve really high goals. All of these lessons carried over to everything else in my life, and I haven’t had a problem in school since.
"I strongly believe that all students have their own learning styles and talents. NDI New Mexico helps our students find that talent and passion. I have seen so many of them blossom from this program."
Each morning the students of Sandia Base Elementary hear their school mantra over the intercom, "We are here to do our best, be our best, encourage others, and never give up. Principal Garcia loves how closely these affirmations line up with NDI New Mexico's Core Four message to Work Hard, Do Your Best, Never Give Up, and Be Healthy. She understands how life-changing it can be to perform onstage and hear the applause. Each year, she "walks her talk" and truly becomes part of the experience by dancing in the Parent/Teacher dance alongside her students and staff.
"The high expectations NDI New Mexico sets for my students are very important. I have had parents thank me for partnering with NDI because they have seen how the program and performances build confidence and bring joy to their children."
The power of NDI New Mexico’s awardwinning teaching techniques is rooted in our culminating performances where staff, professional musicians, lighting and sound technicians, parent volunteers, and audiences all come together to create a high-quality community experience. These life-changing performance opportunities give children the confidence and courage to meet and embrace life’s challenges with the tenacity they need to succeed.
Culminating performances bring entire communities together to celebrate the successes of their students, children, neighbors and friends.
Jerome Muñoz, Alumnus, says, I got to be in the spotlight. It was literally one of my dreams to be in the spotlight! That was the best. NDI New Mexico taught me how to believe in myself in every aspect of my life.
Principals and classroom teachers agree that NDI New Mexico classes develop more focused students and bring joy and community engagement to their schools. Programs become part of the school’s curriculum and are integrated into the community of parents, teachers, and students. NDI New Mexico classes help to fill a gap for arts education and physical activity and bring the entire school together in support of the participating dancers. Children cheer for their peers and anticipate or remember their own chance to dance and perform. School administrators have the opportunity to see their students in a new light that is based upon their leadership in the dance class, even if they struggle in the classroom.
Margo Shirly, Former Principal, Salazar Elementary says,
I see my students walking around the halls in their NDI t-shirts, heads held high, and I know they feel proud. They have realized the importance of dedication and commitment, and the ultimate joy they gave to their families, which for many was a once in a lifetime cross cultural experience.
Each year, first responders practically steal the show during the End-of-Year events at The Dance Barns and The Hiland. Fire fighters, police officers, and sheriff deputies join in the fun and use the occasion to demystify their roles in the community for the children. The audience always explodes in cheers when these local heroes come onstage to dance in their uniforms. As public servants and community idols, they appreciate the opportunity to engage with the dancers in a safe, friendly, nonemergency environment and support the work of NDI New Mexico.
NDI New Mexico would like to thank our first responders for all that they do for our communities and especially for helping inspire the young people in our programs by being positive role models!
NDI New Mexico alumni say the tools they learned as students serve them beyond the dance class and well into their futures. Whether they become IT experts, doctors or Broadway dancers, the work ethic they learned and carry into the world is based upon the Core Four messaging – Work Hard, Do Your Best, Never Give Up, Be Healthy. With these deeply instilled values, they are able to approach life with confidence, tenacity and an understanding of what it means to be excellent at anything that they do.
Laurie Mae Klinger, Alumna from Silver City says,
NDI New Mexico gave me the stepping stones to be where I am today! I am in a career that I love, with the dedication and confidence needed to pursue my dreams.
Through the commitment of the NDI New Mexico Board of Directors, our incredible volunteers, amazing community partners, and our generous donors, we are able to deliver our programs to thousands of children throughout the state each year. Our 25 year history provides a template for how we can continue to serve New Mexico’s children well into the future. With over 100 schools on our waiting list, we are working hard today to plan for tomorrow.
Carrie and Brian Terrell, Supporters say,
We support NDI New Mexico because of our love for New Mexico. We believe NDI provides an invaluable training ground for New Mexico’s children, the future of our state.
The colorful NDI New Mexico family tapestry is woven from the vivid threads of children, parents, teachers, principals, donors, and a generously supportive community. Through dedication, caring, and joyful determination, together we make a real difference for the youth of New Mexico.
Kari Hatch, Former 5th Grade Teacher, Gonzales Community School says, NDI New Mexico’s magic goes far beyond the hundreds of children that dance together on the stage. It moves the community as an audience. It erases the lines between ethnicity, status and cultures as we watch our children unite. It takes your heart and lifts it to a level that restores your faith in our children, our community, and in ourselves.
Proven teaching techniques + supportive schools + dedicated instructors + powerful performances = heathier students who are successful in school and feel prepared for life.
Measuring the benefits of NDI New Mexico’s programs on the children we serve is important for ensuring quality in the classroom and quantifying our impact to partners and supporters. Testimonials from parents, dancers, and educators tell a rich story of how NDI New Mexico’s programs change children’s lives.
More than ten years of independent, scientific evaluations show how participation in NDI New Mexico programs works to improve students’ academic performance. NDI New Mexico dancers exhibit higher GPA scores than those of their peers. Classes also support executive function skills that children need to perform independently, including improved focus, perseverance, self-control, goal setting, problem solving, organization, and decision-making.
As children learn about discipline, a standard of excellence, and a belief in themselves, their confidence and tenacity spills over into their schoolwork and the rest of their lives.
NDI New Mexico has believed in the importance of program evaluation from inception, and has collected over 14 years of data from partners including Public Education Department and University of New Mexico.
The most recent program analysis, conducted by UNM’s Prevention Research Center, of NDI New Mexico’s Advanced Training students and their peers showed that overall, students who participated in NDI New Mexico Advanced Training programs had fewer absences during the school year, statistically higher GPA’s, and higher odds of scoring in the proficient or advanced range when testing for the New Mexico Standards-Based Assessment (NMSBA) in both math and reading compared with peer students that did not participate.

NDI New Mexico Outreach classes are taught at public elementary schools during the school day as part of the curriculum.

These students are invited to audition to join our Advanced Teams, offered in 10 communities throughout the state. Advanced Training happens afterschool or on Saturdays and starts in the 4th-grade with SWAT (Super Wonderful Advanced Team) and continues into
THE DANCE BARNS & THE HILAND
Children ages 3-18 come to The Dance Barns in Santa Fe and The Hiland in Albuquerque each week to participate in high-quality dance and performance training in creative movement, ballet, modern dance, jazz, tap, voice, hiphop, and theater. Classes range from beginner to pre-professional levels and are taught by inspiring instructors using their technical dance expertise along with the NDI New Mexico pedagogy. These classes are open to all children in the community. Tuition for these programs is offered on a sliding scale, ensuring that every child has the opportunity for an enriching afterschool experience. Whether children are exploring their first experience in dance, taking classes for creative expression and exercise, or have their sights set on a career in the performing arts, our after-school programs build a sense of achievement in a nurturing and noncompetitive atmosphere.
Our traveling Residency team brings music and dance to underserved children in 24 rural and urban communities in all corners of New Mexico. The Residency team lives in each community for one to three weeks, conducting daily Outreach classes that culminate in exciting, interactive performances in gyms and theaters for students, families, and the community members. Schools, dancers, and communities look forward to NDI New Mexico’s visit each year.

Thomas and Brenda Nickoloff reflect on why they joined the Silver Sneakers Society
“If you wish for a positive future, you must believe in our kids, and no other program we have seen has the marked positive effects on kids like NDI New Mexico. The program’s Core Four principles: Work Hard, Do Your Best, Never Give Up and Be Healthy set a standard and expectation of excellence that translates into positive impact in all aspects of kid’s lives: emotionally, socially, and educationally. All one must do is attend one live performance, and witness firsthand the huge beaming smiles, to see the evidence. With kids of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and social standing working together with mutual respect — all striving to do their very best, for themselves and one another — one must wonder what a better world we would live in if, for even just a moment, we adults could behave like these children and share their joy in pursuing excellence and showing pride in one another. What a beautiful world that would be … and this next generation of kids can make it happen. That’s why we support NDI New Mexico ... it’s really that simple.”
Thank you, Tom and Brenda, for your commitment to the children of New Mexico!
NDI New Mexico is grateful for every gift we receive! Contributions to our various funds - annual program and event support, and capital and endowment gifts - are recognized from the time period March 15, 2018 to March 14, 2019. Please know that every effort has been made to present a complete and accurate list of our supporters. We apologize for any errors or omissions and appreciate your corrections.
